The Jewel of the North

A boy. And a jewel of great power.


And evil men are after him to get it.


Daniel Tompkins is a normal boy with normal kinds of problems. He isn’t doing as well in school as his mother wants him to and he doesn't really fit in very well.


But now a bully has zeroed in on him.  He wants money from Daniel and will take it out of him in pain if he doesn’t get it.


"Bring it to me tomorrow or else!"


Daniel doesn’t want to go to school but he goes anyway. For his mother, he goes. He is late but he still goes.


When he leaves his apartment, however, his life will be changed forever.


In a small park near his building he hears a voice. It is coming from the old oak tree in the middle of it.


A man appears there. But this man is not like any other. He’s Eliphim—an elf-- and he has something he needs Daniel to do.


He hands him a gauntlet with a jewel of great power in the center of it. It is the Jewel of the North. And Daniel must get it back to its rightful owner.


But others want it. The Riivors will stop at nothing to get it. And they aren’t the only ones.


Daniel must flee from them, from all of them. He must protect the jewel and get it back where it belongs or the world as we know it will end.


This is both Books 1 & 2.
