Just beyond the edge of everything you know exists a world created for one purpose: to offer the living a second chance...

Young Minterton’s life couldn’t be more ordinary-or more disappointing ever since his mother dropped him off at boarding school and left him there.

He would rather live in a tree house and become a forest king, but would settle for anywhere but where he was.

As fate would have it, a most unexpected elder stepped in bringing Mint to live with him in his lighthouse – an island teeming with unpredictability and wonder.

Horrid and evil strangers arrived, throwing Mint into captivity with a rather odd little girl who just so happened to have rainbow colored eyes. Challenge connected them, imagination saved them, and their friendship whisked them away into the other worldly lands of Ardithian.

Energy became extraordinary and books became magical…

Family became complicated and time shifted sideways…

Ultimately, the young dreamer of forests and several extraordinary friends learned the hard way that family was worth fighting for, courage was called for, and the two of them were destined for much greater things. Saving their world could wait.
