Mari Mancusi's NEW DRAGON CITY meets Pendleton Ward's ADVENTURE TIME in this found-family story about a time-warping swordsman in a quest to find his childhood friend and make it to history books as the greatest adventurer to ever live.
Sixteen-year-old Kayden Almerth forgot why he's in prison –centuries of Timewarping to keep himself alive will do that to most. After his shackles rust and break, he escapes with a quest: to reunite with his best friend Lauren and together keep their promise of transcending as heroes. The world of Athoren is weird enough that she could be anywhere: traveling with the Wandering Wonderinn, crossing the sea aboard a marrmaid ship, or dancing with electro-swingy ancient robots. But when fourteen-year-old Tham shelters him, the tyrannical government retaliates by taking the boy's mother. To save her, Kayden will have to decide whether to keep chasing Lauren's shadows of the past or fight for the people beside him. He once promised her that he'd reach history books as a hero. He hasn't given up on that dream.
I am currently finishing my second year of Psychology studies and have completed several manuscripts. Thanks everyone in advance for your time and consideration!
