Matthew's life was normal. He finally got a break from school and homework (which he never did anyway).
"My name is Matthew Edwards."
Suddenly his life is transformed when he meets a treelike boy who sends him on a mysterious quest.
"Well, my name is Ouron Jackson."
However, the young boy has been trapped as a tree for as long as time. Matthew runs into wild creatures and adventures as he tries to obtain the five mystical items the boy had requested.
"Welcome, my old friend," Ouron said bitterly.
Matthew is faced with tribulations along the way while meeting new friends and enemies. During his quest, he meets a girl who catches his eye. She wore a smile that filled his heart with joy, and her hair was brown with blonde running down the tips. Her eyes were purple. But she's a vampire.
"My mother stepped forward and bit me on my arm. Now I am here. If I look at someone and press my eyes shut, I can erase someone's mind."
Sea dragons, magical swords, and dream-stating take over Matthew's new "normal" life.
He screamed wildly as he charged. Their weapons clanged together. Blue sparks flew from both. Matthew quickly looked and saw that some of the tree warriors climbed up to the black pulsing square in the sky.
Matthew even faces Death, literally. Betrayal, love, and sacrifice are intertwined in this story. Can Matthew save the world and everyone he loves?
