What if you discovered that your own past is not what you thought? In fact like no other on Earth? That you alone have no common ancestry with the human race? And that your destiny had been set out for you from choices made by others who existed eons ago? What if you were eleven year old Michael Liddle?
None of these questions ever occurred to Michael to ask of himself. When he walked alone into Cantonville Junior High on the first day of school, all he wondered about was if he would make some new friends, fit in with his classmates, and do well enough at his sixth grade school subjects. But unknown to him, a web of fate and hope had been spun around him from long ago that was soon going to ensnare him. He discovers that much of what he thought he knew about himself wasn’t true at all and that secrets concerning both his past and his future have been kept for millennia. And further, that his dreams for his new life in Cantonville were soon to be replaced by other ones.
A forgotten ancient prophecy of a race of bestial giants who live in seclusion on a planet at the other end of the galaxy has resurfaced: a prophecy concerning the Chosen and the Cast-Out and an approaching dark force that now threatens many worlds and other civilizations.
Salvation of the races in the path of this ominous galactic evil rests on the unlikely shoulders of Michael Liddle and an elfin-like Tylani princess. Whether the prophecy of the Chosen and the Cast-Out applies to these two children is uncertain but what seems sure is that the convoluted and murky future vision of the giants tells of a time of great conflict and calls to the Chosen and the Cast-Out to seek out the “Gift of the Ideema.”
This first book of a seven volume series tells the story of how Michael first becomes aware of his true family, the abilities his birth father intended to give him, and the manner in which he meets the Tylani princess. Few know of or understand the pivotal role he and she are expected to take within a few years in this age old conflict. Yet as the sixth year of school unfolds, what Michael learns of who he really is — and each discovery he makes only results in more questions and mysteries — and what his destiny might be, he must keep secret not only from his mother but also from his new friends. His secret life only adds to the complications he is facing at school with his teachers, two girls who express budding romantic interests in him, and a bully who has Michael firmly in his sights.
