After thirteen years of suffering, torture and blackness, an unknown land in desperate need of a hero will finally find their answer in one teenager.

Thirteen-year-old, Elijah Pendleton is a boy with no past. For as long as he can remember, he's lived under the control of his abusive aunts in a small rural town where everything is deeply ordinary . . .

. . . until one day when his short life changes forever.

After a strange incident involving a cat and mysterious oak tree, Elijah will be put on the path of discovering his true identity, and begin the greatest journey into the heart of the unknown; through a world of legend and mythology that has been shrouded in mystery and suspicion over the many centuries. Through friendships, trials and tribulations, Elijah will have to find a strength he never knew could even exist to finally uncover the truth about himself and his missing parents, but there won't be much time.

It won't be long before the Black Prince forever cloaks the land in evil and blackness.

With the fate of millions resting in his hands, Elijah must find his place as the strongest who ever lived before it's too late, and become the hero he was always destined to be.
