Embark on an epic journey with three unlikely companions in this rousing tale of friendship and adventure in book one of a fast-paced, action-packed middle grade fantasy trilogy.
Calling all young Mages, Rogues, and Knights—grab your swords, grab your backpacks, the Grand Age of Adventure is…over. It’s over.
In the once-blazing city of Lanternport, the College of the Three Companions was an esteemed institution, but now, for nearly a century, it’s stood abandoned. Elsewhere in the city, young Archivist Apprentice Ehmett is fascinated by the College and is determined to discover what knowledge has been lost behind its walls. By chance, or more likely by fate, Ehmett’s solo mission to infiltrate the school soon becomes a team endeavor when he is joined by Barten, a sneaky crook with a knack for lock picking, and Kellis, a skilled warrior determined to carry on her family legacy of sword wielding.
After unknowingly binding themselves together, Ehmett, Barten, and Kellis must embark on their Wanderyear—a months-long “study abroad” journey that will take them away from Lanternport and into a world filled with magical creatures and ancient lore, on a quest to revive their city’s lost spark.
Friendship and the promise of exciting times of old await in this thrilling first book of a fantasy trilogy. Perhaps the Grand Age of Adventure is just beginning…
