Cameron Battle and the Hidden Kingdoms (Cameron Battle, Bk. 1)

Inspired by West African and Igbo history and mythology, this adventurous middle-grade fantasy debut perfect for fans of Aru Shah and Tristan Strong celebrates the triumphs and challenges of a boy finding his truth path to greatness.

As the true Descendant, I command to open
The door to Chidani; it shall be broken

Magic awaits those who seek the queen's peace
And all the suffering you feel will cease

Those who open the histories will hear a sound
What was lost has finally been found.

Cameron Battle grew up cherishing The Book of Chidani's stories about the fabled kingdom that cut itself off from the world to save the Igbo people from danger. Passed down over generations, the Book is Cameron's only connection to his parents, who disappeared two years ago.

When Cameron and his bes friends, Zion and Aliyah, decide to open the forbidden book, they are magically transported to Chidani. Instead of a land of beauty and wonder, they find a kingdom in severe danger of utter destruction. The people of Chidani have been waiting for the last Descendant to return and save them. . . is Cameron ready to be the hero they need?
