Can your greatest strength overcome your greatest weakness? Derek and the triplets have lived with their reclusive uncle since their parents died seven years ago, but there's one corner of his estate they've been forbidden to go; the "Dark Place." Unable to ignore its call, they break the rules, and the "Dark Place" leads them to Veteris where godlike beings, the Children of Veteris, enhance their greatest strengths and weaknesses, and they gain abilities that can only be imagined. Now stranded on a strange world, Derek will need his new abilities to find a way home and rescue his sister, who gets herself captured by the minions of an immortal queen who sees them as a threat to her rule. But time is running short. Derek is days away from his 18th birthday, and only children can survive on Veteris. Behind the scenes, the Children of Veteris manipulate events to force a confrontation with the queen, for she has leverage over them, and they want her gone. It is a confrontation that will determine Derek's fate and that of every child on Veteris.
Autorenporträt
Steven Charles was born in 1972 in Staten Island, NY. He taught himself how to read at a young age by having his mother read Danny and the Dinosaur over and over again until he could read it himself. He moved to Westchester, NY, when he was 10, where he eventually went to Manhattanville College to study music. He moved around, spending some time in Connecticut and Hawaii, before moving back to the mainland where he met his wife, Daniela, who was visiting the US from Brazil. After a short, long-distance courtship, he asked her to marry him by reciting a Sonnet on the beach on New Year's Eve in Brazil. They now live in Florida with their four kids where he works as a Workday Consultant during the day and an author by night.
