Beneath the Vault of Stars - The Daybringer Blake Goulette

Kalas had always thought of Lohwàlar, his hometown, as a simple place where nothing noteworthy ever happened. That all changes on his fourteenth birthday, when, at the bottom of a dried-up ocean, he and his father discover something no one has ever seen: something with a sinister presence and an inescapable sense of wrongness surrounding it.

It's not long before strange creatures, risen from the pages of the world's mythology, make their presence known for the first time in uncounted thousands of years, wreaking havoc and destruction upon all who stand in their way. At the same time, Kalas learns there's a prophecy from an unremembered time; a prophecy whispered in secret by a select few charged with protecting humankind from the advent of another evil age. A prophecy some believe only Kalas can fulfill.

His once-simple world totters on the brink as the forces of dark and light grapple for supremacy. Thrust against his will into fast-unfolding events, accompanied by his friends and mentors, Kalas must undertake a perilous journey through lands he's never known and into dangers he's never imagined. He must uncover the mysteries of an ancient power, present from before the foundation of the world, as he strives to grasp his place within the prophecy. Will his choices save the world-or condemn it?
