*Jack Sawyer is on a quest both epic and deeply personal - to save his mother's life and to find the mysterious Talisman whose power could alter the destinies of two very different worlds.
He has learned how to 'flip' between twin realms - the one where we reside and the land of magic and monsters known as the Territories - and he has survived his first encounters with the brutish Osmond and his malign master, Morgan of Orris. But there are only so many narrow escapes a boy can make - and allies are in short supply. Pursued by enemies who would see his mother killed and both worlds brought under their dominion, Jack must stay on the move and keep his wits about him as he looks for opportunities to complete his quest and fulfill a destiny he never sought but cannot relinquish. *Source: Inside Cover Page
