Ryland and the Forgotten Realm is an epic fantasy novel following sixteen-year-old Ryland as he is thrust into an extraordinary adventure. It is filled with action, adventure, mystery and dire peril in every chapter and plenty of humor to keep readers hooked from start to finish.
We all know the daring tales of Hercules, Thor, Poseidon, Pele, the Titans, and the countless other gods and goddesses of endless mythologies, but what if there was more to these tales than just myth and legend? As any high school student can tell you, behind every rumor and piece of gossip, there is a bit of truth. After the tragic death of his dad, Ryland uncovers the truths that have been forgotten through centuries of storytelling and has to quickly find out where he really belongs.
On a camping trip with his uncle, Ryland can’t shake the feeling that he is being watched. But by the time he realizes his feelings aren’t just paranoia, it’s too late; He’s been tricked into a new realm, leaving his family behind.
Awaking in a new world, he finds himself in the care of a strange man who gives little answers or explanation to why Ryland has been brought here.
The only thing Ryland knows for sure is it is magic! In order to return home, he must face the “gods” and even greater challenges to save not only himself, but the world he left behind. Along the way, he learns new things about himself and his family that he could never have imagined, growing from a mourning teen to an occasionally impetuous hero.
