Think Star Wars meets Avatar: The Last Airbender!

The Five Worlds are on the brink of extinction unless five ancient and mysterious beacons are lit. When war erupts, three unlikely heroes will discover there’s more to themselves—and to their worlds—than meets the eye. . . .

5W1: The Sand Warrior  • 5W2: The Cobalt Prince • 5W3: The Red Maze • 5W4: The Amber Anthem • 5W5: The Emerald Gate

Oona Lee, the clumsiest student at the Sand Dancer Academy, is a fighter with a destiny bigger than she could ever imagine.

An Tzu, a boy from the poorest slums, has a surprising gift and a knack for getting out of sticky situations. 

Jax Amboy is the star athlete who is beloved by an entire galaxy, but what good is that when he has no real friends? 

When these three kids are forced to team up on an epic quest, it will take not one, not two, but 5 WORLDS to contain all the magic and adventure!
