I received a free copy of this book, through LoP, in exchange for a review.Aiden, a once normal teenager comes face to face with an unimaginable concept. In an alternative, parallel universe, he is the hero, the one to save. How he knows this? A mysterious woman calls to him, one night and the next thing he knows, he's in this alternate universe. But, it is nothing like what he is use to; no internet, no cars, no 2013. What he happens upon is an old way of living, with a twist of magic. Think more Arthurian legend. Think fighting in armor and leather. When the king is told how he will succeed, he quickly puts Aiden to work; training him with the best of them. But, will it be enough? How can this kid, be the savior of his people? What will happen next?“I realize thar you are only of the age of fifteen, but you must understand that there are things in this world bigger than the one you know. Within our worlds we coexist, in separate dimensions, but always side by side. It is very rare for anyone from Eden to cross over here, and almost unheard of for someone from here to come over to Eden, but now is the time for precedence to change. You must come with me – our world depends on it.” Her voice seemed to echo in the silence around them, and with each word Aiden grew more and more serious. She must be a local crazy, he thought, probably drunk or on drugs. Taking another step back toward his hours, he started to get this father. He would know how to get rid of her.I love stories like this; mystery, fighting, the ultimate quest! The characters are well developed, likable and the story moved along quickly. The only drawback is the abrupt ending. It really came out of nowhere and was not a very smooth transition, especially after the whole flow of the book. But, this is a great beginning to a series and I can't wait to see what happens next!
