The Hunter Awakens (The Morus Chronicles Book 1)

Winner Best Children's Novel 2014: Preditors & Editors Readers PollLiterary Classics Seal of Approval: Highly recommended for home and school libraries. When thirteen-year-old Ethan Morus is forced to stay on his grandparents' old farm, he expects to find weathered barns, rusty tools, and a creaky house in need of fresh paint. What he doesn't expect is to hear a legend placing his family at the center of an ancient treasure hunt. Or find burial chambers protected by poltergeists, or a secret lair guarded by an ancient beast. And least of all, Ethan doesn't suspect that powerful sorcerers are watching his every move.

They've found Ethan and believe he is from a line of treasure hunters who possess a rare instinct to locate powerful artifacts. Whether he has the instinct or not, Ethan is faced with a choice--search the Morus property and find what they want or lose yet another family member.
