Magic

The Kingdoms of Chartile are more divided than ever, and only one boy has the power to finish the prophecy his father began. Charlie Hill's life is utterly abysmal. He has no friends, and plenty of enemies. To make matters worse, his father is locked up in a psychiatric ward for believing his time spent in Chartile twenty-three years ago was real. But Charlie soon discovers Chartile IS real, and it is not the realm of fantasy from his childhood dreams. The returned kings did not leave Chartile in peace, they were the spark that lit the fires of war - a war to bring back magic, and a war the elves believe only the son of a returned king can end. But Charlie is not his father, no matter how hard he tries to shoot a bow or ride a horse. And his feelings for Princess Ailinn are confusing, making his decisions about the prophecy even more complicated. It's only when the enemy of the Elven crown finally makes their move that Charlie must decide whether to let all his father worked for be destroyed or forge his own legacy in Chartile.
