Emery Emerson and the Accidental Journey (Eidolon Empire Book 1)

Emery’s having his worst birthday ever. His dad’s been dead almost a year, his mom can’t cope with their new life without him, and he’s somehow transported himself to another world. He heard becoming a teenager changed everything, but this was a little ridiculous.
The Eidolon Empire follows completely different rules than the world Emery is used to. Happiness, or more importantly, hope is completely forbidden. The ruler is a tyrannical man called the Magister, and he recycles the despair that hangs in the air into power that he uses to make himself nearly invincible against an almost magic-extinct world.
But something follows Emery into this unfair world. Hope. And he meets Lark, a girl that unwillingly sets Emery’s true destiny in full swing. Unknown powers, magical comrades, and decades-old secrets finally show Emery where he truly belongs- with the Faeries, Glories, Conjurers, and other Magiks living on the fringes of a brutal society.
When Emery first notices his strange new abilities, he chalks it up to coincidence. But the more it happens- and the more he learns about the Empire- he resigns to the fact that something world-changing is going on, and to make matters worse, he may be the cause of it all.
Emery must learn to not only trust his new friends with his life- and destiny – but also to trust himself. He has the power to change everything, if only he can pull off the nearly impossible- bringing the Magister to justice. Like his father said: it’s the things you don’t do that you regret.
Emery can't guess what will happen when the Magister finally catches up to him. But he’s going to follow his destiny. And have no regrets.
Emery Emerson and the Accidental Journey is book one in a series chronicling a group of brave and newly powerful teens as they fight their way through the five worlds that make up the long-forgotten magic realm.
