Then his tablet starts glitching in the middle of the night.
Strange messages appear. A glowing symbol forms on the screen. And one touch sends Jamie hurtling into Myridiam — a spectacular fantasy world of magical artefacts, monster attacks, rival kingdoms and secrets older than history.
At first, it feels like an incredible virtual reality video game.
But is Myridiam really a game, or something else?
Thrown into a conflict far bigger than he understands, Jamie must team up with two unlikely classmates: the school outcast with a talent for combat, and a quick-thinking genius with skills of her own.
Together, they must unlock their powers, survive deadly enemies and protect a world hanging on the edge of war.
But Jamie’s greatest quest is the one he never expected:
finding the link between Myridiam… and his missing brother!
