What if your entire world vanished overnight-your home, your family, your memories-and you awoke in a tomb beneath the earth, dark as pitch? Jason and Kristen Connors were ordinary siblings in 1973 Franklin, North Carolina, standing on the edge of adulthood and the promise of the future. Then, without warning, they disappear. They awaken in a world untouched by modernity-a land of tribal kingdoms, ancient ruins, whispered prophecy, and dangers moving beneath the surface of history itself. With no understanding of how they arrived, no path home, and no one they can fully trust, the siblings are forced into a struggle far greater than survival. As myth and memory intertwine, strange symbols begin appearing around them: spirals carved into stone, echoed in dreams, and hidden within forgotten legends. Ancient forces stir. Prophecies awaken. And Jason and Kristen slowly realize their arrival may not have been an accident at all.

Forging Answers is a mythic portal fantasy filled with elemental magic, ancient mysteries, fractured timelines, and the enduring strength of family bonds. As the Spiral tightens around them, the siblings must confront betrayal, destiny, and the terrifying possibility that the world they came from-and the world they now inhabit-have always been connected. Book One of the Royal Mage Chronicles begins an epic saga of fate, memory, sacrifice, and the bending of time itself.
