Forged in Ancient Fire - Paperback

by Timothy Patterson (Author)

All sixteen-year-old Jia Park wants to do is start a rock band. But after the unexpected death of her mother, she travels from California to Seoul to reconnect with the father she barely knows-and the family she's never met.

There she finds a grandfather who speaks as though her future has already been written, relatives who guard dangerous secrets, and a quick-witted stranger who answers every question with another mystery.

Then an ancient amulet begins to reveal its power.

As Jia discovers abilities she never imagined she possessed, she realizes that everyone around her has an agenda. Some want to guide her. Some want to control her. Some would rather see her disappear before she learns the truth.

Because Jia's arrival in Korea wasn't chance.

It was orchestrated.

And the power she has inherited is greater than anyone ever imagined.

To uncover the truth about her family, Jia must decide who she can trust before the secrets surrounding her consume everything she's just begun to discover.

Forged in Ancient Fire is the first novel in an urban fantasy series blending mythology, music, family, and magic into a story about identity, sacrifice, and discovering who you were always meant to become.
