The Dark Realm

A vanished father. A mysterious package. Two hours to save two worlds.

Sixteen-year-old Kai Layton thought his biggest problem was getting through school in Auckland without making a fool of himself. Then a package arrives — sent by his father just before he disappeared from Kai’s life.

The package links Kai to the Jianjun Warriors, an ancient army rooted in his father’s Chinese heritage and sworn to defend the fragile boundaries between worlds. But Kai isn’t the only one hunting for it. An unhinged “guardian” claims to protect him, while a shape-shifting demon and her Otherworld army will do anything to see him fail.

Now Kai has just two hours to cross dimensions, learn the traditions of a warrior he never knew he was meant to become, and stop an uprising that could destroy both worlds. His only weapons? A lighter, a whistle, and a spike.

Oh — and the only person who might help him would rather see him dead.

Fast-paced, witty, and set between modern-day New Zealand and a storm-torn Otherworld, Jianjun Warriors: The Dark Realm is perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Rick Riordan Presents, and YA fantasy adventures with a twist.
