Sean Harper and The Last Essene

Twelve-year-old Sean Harper never asked to be special. Orphaned as a baby and bounced between foster homes, all he wants is a normal life. But when a mysterious wizard and a talking raccoon-like creature appear with news that Sean is the subject of an ancient prophecy, normal goes
out the window.

Whisked away to Lumina—a world of golden cities, ethereal beings, and impossible technology—Sean discovers he may be the key to stopping a
darkness that threatens not just one world, but all of them. With new friends by his side and enemies lurking in the shadows, Sean must find
the courage he never knew he had.

But in a universe full of secrets, the biggest one might be the truth about who he really is.

The first book in The Starlight Chronicles, a middle-grade portal fantasy adventure for readers who love stories of unlikely heroes, found
family, and journeys to extraordinary worlds.
