Jim Lake Jr. has always felt like he was born for something... he just doesn't know what.
Abandoned by the man he called father, raised by a mother who sacrifices everything to keep them afloat, and left behind by the only friends he ever had, Jim enters high school believing his future will be nothing more than surviving one lonely day after another. His only escape is cooking at a small café run by the mysterious British owner and coworkers, Hisirdoux and Zoey, and wandering the quiet streets of Arcadia Oaks after dark.
But beneath the sleepy California town lies another world.
Ancient trolls wage a hidden war beneath the streets. Wizards long thought lost watch from the shadows. Alien technology sleeps inside Area 49-B. And somewhere in the darkness, an old prophecy is beginning to awaken.
As monsters hunt for Merlin's legendary Amulet and the last Trollhunter fights a losing battle, Jim is unknowingly pulled toward a destiny older than Camelot itself.
Some heroes are chosen.
Others were created.
And the truth of who Jim Lake really is may change the fate of humans, trolls... and the world itself.
