Nevermore - Paperback

by Glen Adams (Author)

Oriel Toussaint looks 16.
Her passport says that she's 21.
If she had a birth certificate, you would know she's actually 1,248.

Joining a mercenary army, led by her associate Felix Hatt, a medieval magician, the troops race across the European continent based on the premise of an ancient prophecy. The use of a mythical portal to transport a chosen volunteer, in possession of a magic-infused key, and that selected person will be sent to a fabled location containing a legendary secret.

Fighting off the dark army attacks and reaching their goal, Felix sent the Chosen One, golden crown atop his blond head, into the activated portal.

When the surge of intense energy and the blinding flash dissipated, the crown lay upon the ground, the young volunteer having been vaporized.

No longer facing extinction, the dark army disappeared for centuries. Last year, though, troubling signs of their reappearance came to Oriel's attention. Tracking down her mentor Felix, passed out in a Hollywood bar, the two hatch a plan to get the old band back together again.

To defeat the dark army, the dysfunctional new team must locate the golden crown, identify another volunteer, bring them together at a portal site they have yet to identify, and hope that the ancient prophecy isn't simply a fairy tale.
