The Amulet: Journey to Sirok (The Elias Chronicles)

"... Swords, shape shifters, and sorcerers all confront Elias as he seeks an answer to the most compelling question of all: who am I? Well-crafted and swiftly moving,this fantasy/adventure will easily intrigue readers." Dr. Leila Christenbury, Commonwealth Professor of English Education, Past President of the NCTE (National Council of Teachers of English), former Co-Editor of The ALAN Review (Assembly on Literature for Adolescents)

WHEN TWIN SWORDS COLLIDE, an incredible power is unleashed and a new world opens.

Elias is at odds with his life on his papa's farm and is forced to make a decision about his life. But something stirs in his heart. Nattymama, his mystical grandmother prepares him for a quest from his rural Hungarian village to a place that is in a sliver of time in-between today and yesterday--or perhaps today and tomorrow. Elias must find Zoltan, a great sage and sorcerer. With Zoltan, Elias will be able to make sense of his unique omens that he encounters along the way--and those deep within.

During his journey he faces the powers of mysterious beings--some that he strives to understand, and some that he is forced to battle. Thanks to his magical sword and his canine friend, Cimbora, they manage to defy the Sarkany, the three-headed, shape-shifting dragon--but this is short-lived.

Elias uncovers his destiny, but it is clear that his journey has only just begun.

Elias's quest is our quest, his journey our journey. You will quickly become ensnared in his grand adventure.

Like Elias, you too will be the hero--and will seize the treasure that is buried deep inside you.

Elias' quest is based on the truths found in lore, legend and allegory...the same truths in each of us.
