Echo Island Synopsis:
The Ten Clans prospered for hundreds of years before the artifact arrived. No one knew its secrets, only that it held the potential to bestow great power. The Clan’s brightest minds studied it for over a decade until it mysteriously vanished. Years later, fifteen-year-old Calum O’Brian comes across the item. As Calum touches the box, he feels a change within him and begins having strange dreams. Powerful forces discover Calum’s use of the box, and he quickly finds himself at the center of a conflict as old as the Clans themselves.
“Echo Island: The Clan Games” begins a five-part series that follows Calum’s journey as he is forced to fight for his home and everything he holds dear. As he faces physical and mental challenges, he uncovers his nation’s past, discovers a forest full of magical plants, and learns of powers far beyond anything he could have imagined. With these powers and the help of his friends, Calum becomes a key player in a covert battle that will reshape the world.
