The Key to Skandos - Prater, William A.

Résumé :
In a world forgotten by time, three unsuspecting teenagers stumble upon an ancient and enigmatic device, a remote trigger conceived by Zildus, a visionary sorcerer of yore. When their curiosity triggers an unintended detonation, a mystical barrier shatters, hurtling them into a realm of unparalleled danger. Here, skies bear hues of otherworldly purple, and the forests teem with vermilion secrets, ruled by a monstrous flying predator reminiscent of mythical dragons and other equally terrifying carnivores. As two of them return to their own world, leaving one behind as a captive of an immensely powerful yet strikingly beautiful sorceress, their pledge to rescue their friend sets the stage for a perilous journey. But in this alien world, destiny weaves a grander tapestry, one that transcends their friendship and holds the key to an extraordinary purpose. Their survival hinges on their resilience, adaptability, and newfound abilities. Their quest to rescue their companion intertwines with a destiny they couldn't have foreseen, propelling them toward an ultimate return to their home. As they navigate through treacherous landscapes and encounter formidable adversaries, the question lingers: Will they emerge victorious, fulfill their destined roles, and find their way back to the world they once knew?
