Humanils

“Heroes and villains are not made, they are chosen.”


-L.A. Boykin


 


Polly, a grief-stricken teenage girl, faces social class prejudices amongst her peers. She, alone with her classmates; Abbus, Donavan, Brittany, and Rizo are a group of military brats that attend a preparatory high school in London, England for teens whose families serve in the military.


Surprisingly, they discover that they are descendants of the Humanils. It all begins as a dream but becomes a scientific truth in epic proportions. For by the divine laws of nature, heroes and villains are not made but chosen. However, Polly is a dream walker and supernaturally possesses a blue medallion ring through a reoccurring dream. The ring is the key to a portal that unlocks the pathway to another world and unveils a message hidden in an 18th-century painting. What begins as a field trip to the old Century Museum becomes a journey that meets an incredible destination. Through an adventure into the rich land of Triumphia, the truth unfolds as the museum guide, Dr. Reid, unveils the source of the student’s power through lucid dreaming. This story is a humorous, yet suspenseful fantasy that reveals itself as friendships are tested through the ultimate act of courage.
