Mik and his friends are at that age when the future looks infinite in all its possibilities, and life has never been so good. This year they attend the county fair as adults. But there is a world outside that cares little for the country people and their yearly celebrations of life together. A world where monsters prey on innocents. A world of evil. In the aftermath of the destruction of their world, ten refugees struggle to stay alive. The Immersion has happened, and they have a greater role yet to play. The First Chronicle of the Manaar — a new epic fantasy series of life, love, and the price of power.
