Description
Could you be the hero of your own story, or are you destined to become monster food? Embark on a Choose-Your-Path adventure that stretches the limits of your courage and creativity, nestled within the pages of this sprawling 100,000-word fantasy epic.
Welcome to Edínu, not just the center of the universe but the birthplace of all life. Teenagers Rosewater Pickle and Charlene Mason expected a quiet day of attic exploration, but instead, they stumble through a tree portal and into a realm of myths, legends, monsters, and—possibly—your missing sock.
At Edínu’s heart grows the World Tree, whose roots don’t just touch every corner of the cosmos but can also kick-start entire new worlds. Yet, lurking beyond its enchantment, is the Void, a dark abyss with dreams of grandeur and an army of monsters itching to turn the universe into their personal playground of doom.
Caught unawares, Rosewater and Charlene, two fourteen-year-olds armed with just their wits and an uncanny knack for finding adventure, are all that stand between the Void and eternal nightfall. Can they turn their accidental adventure into a heroic saga? Or will their journey end in the stomach of an Inkblight? Dive into this perilous tale where bravery springs from the most unlikely sources and the fate of worlds rests on laughter, friendship, and the choices you make.
- A fantasy adventure for Middle School readers and up.
Advance Praise
"The Enchanted Realm by WP van der Merwe is a classic in the making! It has masterfully created a whole new world brimming with beauty, adventure and delight. I can’t help but be reminded of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. From its talking creatures to its many life lessons, one can find both excitement and profound meaning within its pages. And because this is a book of consequence, the readers will find themselves more engaged with best friends Rosewater and Charlene as the story unfolds. They will realize the cost they must pay or the rewards they will reap with every choice they make in crucial parts of the book. Nothing is more thrilling than having the power to move our heroines forward and decide the fate of intermingling realms!" - Editorial Review, The International Review of Books, June 2024

This is a great read! The choose-your-path feature makes this a very engaging and fun story. It's a magical and exciting adventure that feels somewhat similar to Narnia but bigger and so immersive. I love that the reader makes the decisions that move the characters and the story along
