Aegis Rising (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780991081301)

A plane crash... A hidden valley... An ancient prophecy... Five unlikely heroes.

Best friends Jag, Tegan, Aari, Mariah and Kody are cast into an adventure like no other when their small plane crashes in the remote forests of northern Canada. Rescued by the descendants of an ancient civilization who have lived in secret for over two millennia, they realize it may have been more than a mere accident that brought them to the hidden valley.

The teenagers, grateful for the hospitality but eager to return home, are stopped cold when their saviors share a terrifying proclamation: a darkness is descending on humanity's horizon, and the five of them have been chosen to confront the gathering force bent on remaking the world in its image.

As they come to terms with their new roles and learn to unlock powerful abilities, their first trials loom before them sooner than expected. But they must be careful--adversaries are watching from the shadows, and will do anything to make sure the friends burn before they can take flight as the Chosen Ones.
