Children in Our World. Heroes in Another. An epic serialized fantasy for all ages What if you and your friends went to another world every time you went to sleep?
What if you spent half your life on Earth and the other half fighting for survival against foes too terrible to be real?
And what if you could never tell anyone?
This is reality for the Realm Keepers: six kids from Earth thrust into a terrifying war between Midrealm and Chaos. Plucked from their ordinary lives and given extraordinary powers, they're the only thing standing between us and destruction.
In Episode Four, Miles is reluctantly settling into his new life as a Realm Keeper. But despite knowing what's at stake, he finds himself unable to loose his hold on his life on True Earth. But the war continues whether Miles fights it or not. Will his hesitation cost the other Realm Keepers their lives?
This is the fourth episode of Realm Keepers. Each volume consists of six regular episodes, and a Finale that is three times the length (and price) of a single episode, told from the perspective of all six kids.

˃˃˃ "This first episode is a great start to a YA Fantasy series that even adults can enjoy...Well written, interesting characters, promising premise." Eric Guindon, The Siege Perilous Podcast
˃˃˃ It's clear the writers put a lot of effort into developing each personality early on. The story line is still gripping. It moves, but it doesn't move so fast that you feel it's unrealistic...Needless to say, I'm a fan. On to the next one." Heather, Amazon Reviewer
I bought the full compilation after reading the free first episode, and this episode doesn't disappoint. I like how every single solo episode has a unique voice for each character, which isn't an easy feat to pull off. You definitely get to know the characters quite well, and that Miles wasn't my favorite was a bit of a disappointment to me. (In high school, I was the smart track guy.) Miles is just a bit too self-centered and his story I think was the weakest of the 6, mainly because he was very difficult to relate to as a reader. (Which isn't to say somebody else won't find it easier; the color of his skin obviously makes a bigger difference for him than mine did growing up.) I did find it odd that as the one who knew animals the best that he mistook Raven's Hawk for a Falcon...but as it remained a falcon the rest of the series I am guessing that Raven mistook what type of bird it was in her adventure. (See, not an inconsistency! Heheh.)
