Elthea’s Realm (The Story of Elthea's Realm Book 1)

Description

Step into an enchanted world where stunning beauty exists next to evil that has evolved from Earth’s technology.

Our story begins in Boston with five young adults, once the closest of friends. They were united in college by a rigorous course called The Utopia Project. Now, years later, someone is after them because of that class. When the pursuit turns violent, an explosion knocks them senseless, and they awake in an unrecognizable place.

The world is Elthea’s Realm, a seemingly magical land with islands situated high above the ocean, supported by a thin foundation, and stars that float down from the night sky to bestow a rare gift.

They are befriended by a race called the Astari, beings with roots in Earth’s software. The ones who pursued them are known as Bots, creatures fashioned from Earth’s malware and virus programs, only now they have a physical form, and they continue to hunt the members of The Utopia Project in this new land.

Together with their Astari protectors, they band together to stop the Bots before being killed by them first. What ensues is a harrowing tale of fate and survival, but mostly it’s a tale of friendship and brotherhood, without which none would survive.
