Edgebrook: My Newest Project

I promised I would so here's a little bit about Edgebrook. 


This is a rough summary and is subject to change. Edgebrook is the book I'm working on for my college course on writing books, from The Institute of Children's Literature. So here it goes.


Seventeen-year-old Adam is just a victim of typical teenage rebellion. Everyone's wanted to run away at some point in their lives, right?

His adopted parents don't understand him, and he's sick of his tiny town. But since he's strong enough to tie crow bars into bows, and he can change shape into a cat twice the size of a lion with saber teeth and four inch long claws, you can understand his frustration.

When he runs away from Edgebrook, his plans of showing the world what he can do are thrown out the window when he is sucked into another realm.


In the desert land of Nuria, inhabited by tattooed, red-eyed people with crimson angel wings; Adam finds his path crossed with Riley, a beautiful mystery, with a temper hotter than Nuria's three suns, who had her wings clipped for a horrible crime committed against the Nurian king. 


As an evil plot unfolds to open a portal to earth and unleash an indestructible army, Riley is sure stopping the King's enemy would earn her grace in his eyes. And Adam is sure the journey will uncover his forgotten childhood and reveal who his real parents are.


Can Adam discover the secrets of his past and help Riley earn back her wings? Adam  is determined to do so. But between his absent memory, a powerful warlord, and an unrequited attraction things aren't going to be easy. 


But then again, Adam's never backed down from a good challenge.


There it is. Still working out the kinks.
