Sacrifice Adam Tyrcha

In Sacrifice, Adam Tyrcha's fantasy fiction debut, two young guys will come to depend on their friendships-and learn firsthand the utter disregard of wickedness. In twenty-three chapters like "Kung Fu Fighting Is Nothing..." and "In the Midst of Battle," Tyrcha hatches a character-driven plot with full-throttle otherworld action. He makes heroes out of Aidan, a likable loser, and Marc, his best friend. Thick as thieves, when a creature named Gorshak drags Marc through a mysterious portal on an otherwise dull summer day in Kos, Greece, Aidan goes in after him. That's what friends are for; the problem is they become separated in the strange new place. While Aidan chances on Saelie, queen of the City of Light, and learns Marc has a secret power for which he's been imprisoned, Marc makes the best of enemies and the worst sort of friends. As a mysterious prophecy continues to unfold, Aidan enlists a team willing to fight his cause, though ultimately, someone must make the final secession.
