ABOUT
THE BOOK

Orphaned as an infant, John Solomon knew only tragedy and despair throughout his young life. However, he was no ordinary boy.

Plagued by recurrent visions and vivid dreams of a great Phoenix rising from the ashes, an incidental finding at his part-time job seemed to hold the key. From his humble beginnings to the mysterious Fifth Island, his journey through a land of angels, were-gradons and mystical creatures of all shapes and sizes began.

On the Fifth Island, John Solomon would soon confront his mysterious origins and realise his true destiny!
