The Five Realms

Joey Jackson, a quiet teen with a stubborn sense of hope, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father during a supernatural fire at their family estate. When a shadowy figure emerges from the smoke-and a long-lost teacher delivers a cryptic gift-Joey, his twin sister Chyna, and their three closest friends are thrust into an ancient conflict that spans worlds.

Their journey leads them to Alagaësia, a realm reborn in magic and steam, where dragons are awakened not by blood, but by soul. Each teen bonds with a dragon through a mysterious obsidian watch-an artifact of forgotten Rider lore that pulses with power and memory. As their dragons hatch and grow, so do the secrets that bind them.

In the luminous magitek city of Eoam, powered by a floating crystal and guarded by old elven science, they uncover whispers of an ancient evil-Du Sundavr Konungr, the Shadow King-once dead, now reborn. His return threatens not just Alagaësia, but every realm bound by magic and memory.

To stop him, the teens must master their dragons, survive a brutal Rider academy, and uncover the truth behind a fractured prophecy that speaks of betrayal, unity, and a war that spans creation itself.

Blending the mythic heart of Eragon with the political danger of Game of Thrones and the emotional camaraderie of Percy Jackson, The Five Realms is a saga of love, legacy, and the price of hope in a multiverse on the edge.
