And his only hope for adoption is a man who looks like a tree.Travis takes up with a magical outlaw, and the two find themselves on the run from the law. They set out on a quest to steal an enchanted sword with ties to Travis’s family. But what dangers lurk in the forest outside Mercy Square? And can Travis’s new father-figure be trusted? You’ll have to summon your courage to find out as the gripping story unfolds, replete with bizarre creatures, bone-chilling threats, and advice for travelers on their own adventures in life.“This novel has the most playful charm to it, quickly sweeping you into its magic, creatures, and lovably unique characters, including our hero, Travis. While I was immediately drawn in to the humor and wit of the verbal-fencing style dialogues, I found that Shore weaves in the mechanisms of his universe so seamlessly that they almost immediately felt both totally fresh and right. I read passages of this book to my 6 year old son, whose imagination sparked alive at the descriptions of jarters, viledarts, and rickticks. We can hardly wait to see what Shore envisions in his future works.” - Teresa Marie Cowger

The Acropolis Series Book 2"There are countless wise quotes that wax poetic about choosing a path in life, poetry about the road less traveled, but there is nothing that says either path is easy. Each path requires sacrifice, each path is full of scars." ~Emma ChaseMy name is Conor Reinhardt. I am a gargoyle Guardian in exile for killing my own. My mark is safe, the group of hybrids we've led from the Acropolis, secure. There's a new hybrid king in the Outer Levels of Hell, and he needs the Acropolis refugees. I expect the journey ahead. I even expect the danger. I don't expect the shadows that haunt me, those beckoning spirits of guilt that never let me sleep. Guilt from killing my own. I don't expect the things the hybrids learn about themselves. I don't expect many of the challenges in our path. I'm not sure I even expect us to survive The Labyrinth.
