Eden: Dogma School of Magic and Flight

Paperback (Winters Publishing Group Oct. 31, 2017)
In the tradition of Harry Potter and Eragon. LAKEN is a mistreated orphan who lives in a basement with his sister, SUMMER. They lead a poor and dingy life—save for an invisible ring that was placed on his finger at birth. Laken can feel the ring’s power, but its origin and purpose are unknown to him. On his thirteenth birthday, he is sucked into a magical world of elves, minotaurs, and giants. All of them can see Laken’s now-not-so-invisible ring and, because of it, they chase after him. In the nick of time, an angel named GABRIEL swoops down to save him from the pack of monsters. Gabriel is the headmaster of the Dogma School for Magic and Flight. After the rescue, he reveals to Laken the secret of the boy’s life. Every seventy-five years, a human is given the magic ring and declared to be the Chosen One—the result of a sacred oath made thousands of years ago between angel and man. Angels, who were created to aid humans, do not have the ability to ever harm a human. This makes the Chosen One a very powerful being in the Angelic world. LORD BRONE, the previous Chosen One, used his supremacy for evil. He and his gang of fallen angels had nearly taken over the Angelic world until the ring was passed to Laken, thus banishing Lord Brone back to the world of humans. Laken learns that it was Lord Brone who killed Laken’s mother in an attempt to steal the ring when the boy was just an infant. With this new and terrifying knowledge, Laken accompanies Gabriel to Eden, where he enrolls in the Dogma School of Magic and Flight, and begins his journey to fully embrace his calling as the Chosen One. At school, Laken befriends an assortment of oddballs and quirky companions, including HEATH and PEYTON, shape-shifting brothers; BAYLOR, an eight-foot tall giant boy; and CIRQUE, a handsome young lady’s man. Each boy can interact with their own “conscience,” called a numa. Laken’s numa is named DAVE—a sarcastic, funny fellow who doesn’t always agree with Laken (or Gabriel!) Laken soon learns that he has a distinct advantage in Eden. Though others can’t, Laken can hear the numas of friends and enemies alike! Laken soon settles into his new routine. At Dogma, the students are instructed in magic, trained how to battle, given wings, and taught to fly. The boys soon discover, however, that someone at the school is plotting to kill Laken. To add to the intrigue, Laken disappears every night, waking up each morning in different locations around campus…. When he disappears, Laken leaves Dogma to enter a middle-world in which he can visit his sister, Summer. Anytime Summer is in trouble or needs help, Laken is sucked from the angelic world to come to her aid. Everyone is surprised to learn that Laken has become Summer’s guardian angel. Lord Brone catches wind of this, and uses Laken’s ability to his own evil advantage, capturing Summer to lead Laken out of the angelic realm. Lord Brone threatens to kill Summer unless Laken returns to the ordinary world. An epic battle commences in which Laken is struck a nearly fatal wound. In a magnificent twist, Laken is saved by Summer, who leads him through a portal and back into the angelic world. It is then revealed that Summer also possesses strong magical abilities. But there is no time to celebrate. Lord Brone manages to follow the siblings through the portal— and his plans for revenge are greater than ever…
