After losing his parents at an early age, Jack Stobrimore was raised by his grandfather, Artemis. Artemis loved to tell fantasy stories of a world of magic, filled with heroes and villains, epic quests, dragons, fairies, elves and beastfolk of every sort, almost as much as Jack loved hearing them. As Jack grew up, he never grew out of hearing the seemingly neverending number of stories that Artemis told him. One fateful day, Jack receives a letter from Artemis, hinting at a new quest for him to take. This quest leads Jack to discover some long hidden family secrets, along with the unexpected accidental discovery of a portal that would take him to the world he thought existed only in the stories he grew up hearing. With this discovery, Jack soon learns that the fantasy stories he grew up listening to are actually far more real than he ever imagined, and his role in the stories to come is only beginning. "The Stobrimore Chronicles - The Beginning" is the first in an ongoing fantasy novel series following the adventures of Jack Stobrimore, who, after discovering a mysterious portal on his grandfather's property, finds himself in a parallel world filled with elves, fairies, magic, beastfolk, dragons and an ever-growing collection of unique individuals and experiences that he will not soon forget.
