Rymworld Arcana

A new middle-grade mind-bending adventure from award-winning author Ryan Calejo, destined to be an instant classic Antares De La Vega is an adventurer at heart. He dreams of journeying across burning deserts, trekking through wild and uncharted jungles, sailing the furthest reaches of the seas-and yet, he's never stepped foot outside of South Florida. Until strange creatures come leaping out of lightning bolts to kidnap him. Locked away in a secret prison in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle, Antares meets Magdavellía, a mysterious and iron-willed girl who opens his eyes to a shocking truth: this world is a far different-and weirder-place than he's been led to believe. Every strange rumor, every wild theory, is based on truth. After they escape the prison, Antares and Magdavellía must set out beyond the edges of any map in search of a legendary artifact-and Antares's parents, who have been missing most of his life. The two of them must wield geometry and alchemy, outsmart molemen and mermaids, and outrun fiendish outer space aliens . . . all while attempting to solve a riddle as old and mystifying as the sun.

The exciting sequel to the middle-grade mind-bending adventure from award-winning author Ryan Calejo, exploring worlds beyond imagination After wielding time itself to save the Rym, Antares and Magdavellía return to Agartha as heroes. But peace is short-lived. As a mystic-led sneak attack plunges the Rym into chaos, they once again find themselves in a world on the brink of doom. Their only hope is a forgotten alchemyst map that supposedly leads to the Elementals, powerful Ancient Astronaut substances that, when combined, create the ultimate instrument of destruction. Antares and Magdavellía will have to race against old and new enemies to secure the Elementals, even as a traitor in their midst plots their long-awaited revenge against the empress. But every step they take toward the forging of the ancient weapon brings them one step closer to uncovering a horrible secret from Magdavellía's past, a secret that could bring down her throne.
