Also called The Elderine Stone: Dreams of Destiny.

Jason finds himself in another land after investigating a shed in the middle of the woods. He meets Emily, Sherbit, Deron, and Gimble. They believe he is the savoir for this world. There is a prophecy that says he will defeat the Dark Lady, The Dark One and the darkness that they will bring to the world. The "twist" at the end was not a surprise and was pretty easy to see coming.

This is a story for a 10- to 15-year-old. I didn't really show more connect with the story, but it wasn't a bad tale. Somebody of the proper age group would probably enjoy it. show less

An enjoyable young adult fantasy where Jason finds himself in a totally new world and he becomes the hero who can battle and win against evil forces. I enjoyed his friendships he develops and how he engaged in the issues he found himself with. The characters are a bit light in development, but perfectly fine for a light read.The author leaves the reader ready for the next story.

I have the Kindle version of this book.

What a delightful book. The characters are likable and the story just pulls you in. This book is a must read for anyone who likes fantasy genre. I won this from LibraryThing. show less

I actually found this book hard to read. It was in first person and the pacing was off just enough to throw me out of the story. I think that it is a good premise just the follow thru is slightly lacking. I also found some smaller editing errors such as too instead of to which threw me off.
