Get ready because DESTINY is calling...

When Jarell discovers that the fantasy world he is obsessed with doodling is actually Ulfrika, the ancient-future realm of his ancestors, Jarell is quickly recognised for who he really is — the descendant of the mighty Kundi, and Ulfrika’s only hope of saving their land from the clutches of the evil sorcerer Ikala.

To keep the magical Staff of Kundi safe, the goddess Ayana scattered its four elemental creatures across Ulfrika. It is Jarell’s mission to find these creatures and wield the magic of the staff before Ikala does.

Jarell is thrown into the midst of a deadly battle.

And with the help of determined but kind-hearted warrior, Kimisi, he needs to learn to believe in himself, fast. 

The future of all the worlds depend on it…
