The Familiar's Call

In the kingdom of Albion, where the tides of history churn with magic and whispers of war, life for Max seems ordinary-until he summons a familiar unlike any the world has ever seen. While others bond with wolves, cats, or spiders, Max's familiar is a radiant white deer made of pure light, visible only to him and shrouded in mystery.

As Max struggles to understand his bond with this strange being, he uncovers forgotten tales of the Dark Times-a period of unspeakable horror caused by a witch who unleashed a darkness so vast it had to be sealed in a parallel world. But the rift is weakening, and the darkness stirs once more.

When a late-night journey into the forest reveals a chilling ritual, Max and his friends are thrust into a deadly battle against forces far beyond their understanding. The bonds they forge-and the secrets they uncover-will determine not only their fates but the fate of Albion itself.

In a world where light and shadow wage eternal war, one boy's choices will shape the balance.

Will Max's light be enough to face the rising darkness?
