SYNOPSIS:
Ren is having the worst week of his life. He has a close brush with unemployment over a major spelling error, gets assigned an annoying goblin as an assistant, then finds the girl of his dreams who promptly gets kidnapped. As a sixteen-year-old Elven reporter for gossip magazine The Mythland Reporter, Ren’s in the mood for a little adventure. After convincing his boss to let him write a story about his own private rescue mission, Ren assembles a rag-tag team made up of people he meets along the way. But, the world is a big place, and the rescue sees them stow away on the grandest cruise ship ever constructed, chase leads through the bioluminescent plains of Vuunon, and search the marvelous Fairy cities of Moira. All the while his editor is breathing down his neck to hurry up and send the story.
However, the closer Ren comes to his goal, the more he realizes that this isn’t just about a single kidnapped girl. Her kidnapping is one small piece of a far-reaching conspiracy. And someone in Ren’s group is trying to sabotage the investigation. With danger mounting, Ren begins to wonder if continuing on is even worth it. He’s not sure if he’s risking his life to keep his job, save a girl he just met, or do the right thing. Even if he knew, it may already be too late to turn back.

About the author
Adam N. Webber
1 book4 followersMade in the mountains of the prodigious pacific northwest, Adam is an Amboy Middle School Alum, Associate of TV Production, and Bachelor of Creative Writing. He’s presently pursuing a Master’s In Teaching at WSU.
Although it’s of almost no significance whatsoever, Adam is also a skilled screenwriter (or so he thinks) and dreams of one day having a screenplay made into a feature film or mediocre prime-time television show that is cancelled after five episodes, but gains a cult following soon thereafter.
Adam’s favorite books are (rather obviously) The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (and anything written by Douglas Adams), Ready Player One, the entire ‘Rama’ series, and what little of Terry Pratchett he’s read so far. His birthday also falls on January 25th, which happens to belong to Virginia Woolfe as well, and (although Adam is not quite as depressing) he believes it is a sign he was born to write, or a complete coincidence that justifies his passion.
