Dominic Pepper & The High Priest's Dark Crystal: A Dark YA Fantasy of Magic, Courage, and Destiny (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798900468600)

Book One of a series. Fourteen-year-old Dominic never meant to become a hero. When he discovers a divine parchment capable of summoning holy magic, he uses its power for petty revenge at school-with hilarious and disastrous results. But his secret soon attracts the attention of a satanic sect determined to claim the parchment for Lucifer himself. To seize its power, the cult summons Bestia Terrae, a monstrous servant of darkness, and targets Dominic's girlfriend, Miriam, as a sacrifice. In his desperate attempt to save her, Dominic unleashes the parchment's true strength-and triggers a cosmic war between light and shadow. Hunted by dark sorcerers and Lucifer's High Priest, Dominic and his friends flee across worlds to Wilmindor, a breathtaking realm of living forests, luminous skies, and ancient magic. But every alliance comes at a terrible cost, and every spell exacts its price.

As the final battle approaches, Dominic must face Bestia Terrae and the High Priest himself. To save Miriam, his friends, and his soul, he'll risk everything-his courage, his powers, and the divine gift that could either save or destroy them all
