The Magi
Thirteen-year-old Elijah Hawk has never heard of the Magi. He knows nothing about their three thousand-year-old secret. He has never been to Savenridge, the Magi city hidden deep inside the northern woods. Most of all, Elijah is unaware of the dangers hunting him.
After one terrifying night, however, all of that changes!
On a quest to solve the horrific murder of his parents, Elijah stumbles upon the land of the Magi. Learning their ancient secrets and training with their power is the least of his problems. In order to find out why his parents were killed, Elijah learns that he must confront the dangers that are hunting him, even though it means almost certain death. What's more terrifying is discovering that his journey to this new world may not have been an accident after all.

I have to say that I really enjoyed this book. I have been on the lookout for the next Harry Potter and while I realize that nothing will ever be the same this book sure does come close.
The story was very fast paced and the author did a wonderful job creating and explaining this whole new world. I sometimes have a hard time understanding new worlds and usually if they are explained there is a rush of info
