The legend is real. The King is waiting. And sixteen-year-old Tom is the only one who can wake him.
When Tom's grandfather vanishes without a trace, the police write it off. Tom can't. Determined to find answers, he follows clues that lead somewhere no map can take him — a parallel world of ancient magic, shape-shifters, and fey creatures older than memory.
In this Otherworld, Tom discovers everything he believed about himself was a lie. Vivian, the mysterious Lady of the Lake, has been watching over him since birth, secretly weaving his destiny into an ancient prophecy. Now she needs him to fulfil it.
A dark power is spreading through the Old Forest, and only one person can stop it: King Arthur — if he can be woken from a centuries-long sleep. According to Vivian, that's Tom's job. But Tom has his own mission first: find his grandfather and bring him home.
Guided by the elusive warrior Woodsmoke and the fierce bird-shifter Brenna, Tom plunges into an adventure beyond anything he imagined — battling sea monsters, outwitting fey princes, and descending into an icy underground tomb where a legend lies sleeping. To survive, he must master a sword, trust strangers, and discover a courage he never knew he had.
Arthurian legend meets epic YA fantasy in this fast-paced adventure — perfect for fans of Rick Riordan, T.A. Barron, and Kevin Crossley-Holland.
