Jack Hackley had everything-until the cave surfaced, his friends vanished, and no one remembered they ever existed.

When a mysterious cavern splits open beneath his sleepy Pennsylvania town, Jack is pulled into Kazumeth - a world of sentient forests, fractured magic, and long-buried secrets. There, he uncovers a legacy he never asked for: he's one of five teens bound to powerful Vocation Stones-ancient relics that could save both worlds . . . or destroy them.

But in the shadows, Akuramundo is twisting minds and turning allies into puppets to seize the stones - and he'll stop at nothing to claim them.

As Jack is pulled deeper into a war he never chose, truths begin to fracture. The friend he came to save may already be lost. A rebellion is splintering. And as memories shift and loyalties blur, Jack must choose who to trust - and what kind of hero he's willing to become.

For those who grew up with Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, and Eragon-this is the kind of fantasy that reminds you why you fell in love with magic in the first place. Kids of Kazumeth is a journey filled with loyalty, betrayal, and a legacy that proves even destiny can be rewritten.
