Deep in the rain forests of Guatemala, an ancient Mayan temple holds a
mythical secret. The legendary Fountain of Youth lies within, but not all
myths are fairy tales. The temple ruins have been seized by the Core, a
sinister cult determined to unlock the mysteries of immortality.
When their captured friends are spotted near the temple, Bobby and his
cousin Jinx must journey into the dark heart of the jungle to save them.
Harnessing their extraordinary abilities, the boys will undertake an epic
quest to fulfill a centuries-old prophecy.
Cut off from their allies, Bobby and Jinx combat supernatural barriers,
raging rivers, and deadly beasts. They’ll face savage natives,
vengeful ghosts, and ruthless mercenaries who can conjure a person’s darkest
fears.
Past and present will collide, with the power of eternity on the line. Can
Bobby fulfill the prophecy and lay the temple’s spirits to rest?

YA Fantasy
When sixteen-year-old Bobby Ether is abducted and brought to the secluded
Jade Academy in Tibet, monks teach him and other special students how to tap
into their Anima—the universal energy that connects all living things.
But the headmistress of the academy is secretly exploiting the students,
looking for genetic triggers to create a new breed of humans with
metaphysical abilities. As his powers increase, Bobby is thrust into a
cesspool of conspiracy, lies, and betrayal. A jade amulet left by his
clairvoyant grandfather may provide answers, but what exactly is his
family’s connection to this mysterious place?
Can Bobby master his talents in time to uncover the truth? If not, his
fate—and the fate of the entire Jade Academy—may be
sealed.
