Dive into the realm of Aardon!

The Portal to Aardon

The MARK OF EMBER Series BOOK ONE

Deep down, a fire rages in everyone…

Marko Fember only ever wanted a normal life. And for sixteen years, he had one. But everything changes when he inherits his late father’s dog tags, which awaken pyromantic abilities he didn’t know he had.

As he investigates his newfound magic, he discovers he’s from another realm called Aardon. And that the inhabitants of Aardon fled to Earth to escape an evil warlock, who will stop at nothing to finish the war he started.

As if the stresses of growing up and finding yourself weren’t enough already, Marko must now learn to harness his magic and reopen a portal home… or seal the fate of his entire realm.

Will he rise like a phoenix — or crumble to ashes?
