Jack Hackley had everything—until the cave opened, his friends disappeared, and no one remembered they ever existed.

 

When an underground cavern splits open beneath his sleepy Pennsylvania town, Jack is pulled into Kazumeth—a realm of sentient forests, fractured magic, and a rising conflict that threatens both worlds. There, he discovers a legacy he never asked for: he’s one of five teens bound to ancient Vocation Stones, relics powerful enough to heal—or destroy—everything.

 

But Jack isn’t the only one searching. In the shadows, Akuramundo is turning allies into puppets, twisting minds to serve his will—and he will stop at nothing to claim the stones, even if it means sacrificing everything.

 

As Jack is drawn deeper into the fight, the truth becomes increasingly tangled. The friend he came to save may already be lost. A rebellion is unraveling. And as trust fractures and buried memories claw their way to the surface, Jack begins to wonder: who’s truly on his side—and who’s just pulling the strings?

 

In a world where memory can be rewritten and prophecy isn’t written in blood, Jack must decide what’s worth saving—and what kind of hero he’s willing to become.
