Winner
of the Bronze medal in the 2017 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards in the Pre-Teen
Fiction-Mystery category.
Something
has changed at Gregson Manor. An evil force from the family's past has returned
to upheave their lives. Jack and his cousins explore the family secrets as they
are pulled through a portal into a universe of endless worlds and
possibilities. Together, they race to escape and destroy the evil Theorden and
his followers who strive to unlock the power of the Forgotten Portal and wreak
havoc on Gregson Manor and the World.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT:
“Amazing!
It makes sense then. If Theorden had that book in his possession, he could
create hundreds of portals and attack Earth from multiple places at once. He
could place those Horde stones all over the globe and overrun your world in a
matter of weeks!”
“I don’t get
why is he so interested in invading Earth.”
“Earth is
quite unique, Jack. Because its portal has been kept a secret, it has allowed
you humans to grow and thrive without the influences of magic and other
civilizations. Unlike other worlds, you haven’t spread out across the Universe
and there are now seven billion of you on the one planet. You don’t have magic,
but you have weapons that can kill hundreds of thousands of people with the
push of a button! If Theorden managed to take control of your people and
technology, and combine it with his magic, he’d be unstoppable. He would
control the Universe!”
Jack sat
back in shock. Control the Universe? He couldn’t understand why someone would
want that much power.
“Jack. If
David and Rosie went back to the Manor, they should have taken the book with
them. It isn’t safe carrying that around. Why did you three decide it should be
brought here when you split up?”
Jack
shifted uncomfortably where he sat. “We didn’t really discuss it. We didn’t
really talk about splitting up either…”
Anthrow
looked at him and then sighed. “You decided to come here alone, and didn’t tell
them. Why?”
