James of This World

James Bradley's quiet predictable life is about to be turned upside down. James attends the elite private school Davenport Academy, and is being forced to follow in his father's successful footsteps. And no matter what James may say, he is forced to be on this path. One summer day, as he is mowing the lawn of his best friend's grandmother, he is accosted by a mysterious violent killer. The only way for him to survive is to be rescued by the beautiful captive trapped inside a great glass mirror. With her own magic failing, the captive Soleil, whisks James to another parallel world where untold adventures await. James is the reluctant savior of this wondrous place. Here he learns about the balance of dark and light forces, and that balance is about to tip permanently in the wrong direction James and Soleil escape from a mountainside prison, and desperately try to find more people from Soleil's magical tribe -- the more tribesmen that are together, the stronger the magic. Unfortunately, they discover a genocidal attempt to fracture the tribe - even physical dismemberment to weaken the only resistance standing in the way. James and Soleil recover the still-living severed head of her aunt who proves to be wise and helpful. She helps the two young people learn about their magic, their connection, and their growing love for one another while trying to find pieces of her own body to restore her power. But can two people from different dimensions hope to have a peaceful relationship? Will the resistance hold? Not in This World.
