    The Hero Within Saga Series

    About this series

    (Book III of The Hero Within series) It has been three years since Alex’s first adventure and, although enjoying a successful high school career, he has been pretty bored. That is until Queen Melanie calls upon him once again for his assistance.

    After the events of Tales from Krisslyn, Melanie’s twin cousins and head scouts Phalin and Reyce were lost on their mission to seal the Vortex. Instead, the two were captured by its powerful forces and taken into another dimension. The world Alex discovers as part of his rescue mission is right out of a Robert Louis Stevenson novel. Alex finds Phalin but learns that Reyce has been enslaved by the infamous pirate Scarlet Johnny whose sole purpose is to find the Jewels of the Kings, a treasure whose origins are shrouded in mystery and danger. What follows is an epic adventure that takes Alex on the high seas (and under it) giving him the activity he craves but also a new perspective on his own future.

      What 14-year-old boy would turn down the opportunity to fight alongside ninjas, fly with dinosaurs, and battle Ice Giants? Probably none. Which of those boys would willingly give up childhood in order to do it is the real question. In The Hero Within, Alex is that regular 14-year-old boy. He isn't really concerned about the pressures of young adulthood that await him, but with high school looming right after the summer Alex is forced to take a closer look at his life and his future. One day, Alex discovers a puzzling medallion hidden in his bedroom. Once he puts it on, his life changes forever. He is charged with the implausible task of completing an interdimensional scavenger hunt to find the lost Treasures of the Elders. In doing so, he would assist Melanie, the imprisoned princess of the magical ice world known as Krisslyn. Alex is then whisked away through time and space where he must rely on his wits, special skills, and a lot of luck to complete his mission. Alex must battle knights in a fierce medieval-style tournament, help an mysterious ninja warrior defeat an ancient foe, and thwart the wicked plans of a clan of vampires, all while avoiding the evil Redeemers who work to foil Alex's plans at every turn. And what will he do when he actually encounters the Princess? In this exciting adventure, a boy is allowed to relish his youth and learn the importance of growing up at the same time.
