Summary

Kyle and Anna, two kids from 1950's Odyssey, find themselves transported to a strange new world called Marus. They are immediately caught up in a struggle between a power-mad king and his valiant young general.

Plot

For a full plot, see Darien's Rise saga.
Jack Allen has purchased some goods from the Estate of a retired Odyssey school teacher who has passed away. As Jack says: "Nothing remarkable", except an old Manuscript written in a school notebook. The title reads: Manuscript #1 "The Chronicle of the Chosen", and is dated October 3rd, 1958. Jack brings the manuscript into Whit's End and shows it to Whit. Whit takes it home and reads it.

The story begins in the summer of 1958 as Kyle and Anna are visiting their Grandparents in Odyssey. One day they explore an abandoned house in the woods nearby. Kyle gets careless and falls through some floorboards, but...suddenly finds himself wrapped in a curtain? He gets loose just in time to save a young man's life, and race away. When Anna came to help Kyle, a White Light surrounds her, and she finds herself in completely different world called Marus. Caught as a spy, and sold as a slave, Anna is rescued by an old man called the Old Judge. He explains that have been chosen by the "Unseen One" as a Voice and Protector.
