Summary:

the horrible realm of Nefandus are out to capture him and the other escaped

and his attraction to Allison, the popular girl at school whose football
boyfriend is a major enemy, he continues to draw attention to himself. He is
the son of the Visigoth king "the real world" believes to be a myth. His old
love from his ancient past shows up and pleads for his help and Obie returns to
Nefandus to collect his mother's magic rune stones and claim his destiny.
I would recommend this book!
Why?
This series is the male companion series of Ewing's popular "Daughters of
the Moon" series. This story has a gritty, urban feel to it while at
the same time creating an interesting fantasy world of magic, conflict, and
adventure. The characters feel very real and readers can identify with their
problems of teenage life.
