The House of Power — Patrick Carman

IF YOU HAVE FOUND THIS BOOK, THEN THE WORLD HAS BEGUN TO CHANGE. YOU MUST BE ON YOUR GUARD. TRUST ONLY THOSE YOU CAN BE ABSOLUTELY SURE OF -- THERE ARE BIGGER CHANGES AHEAD.

Edgar, a gifted climber, secretly scales the treacherous walls separating the three worlds of Atherton: the humble grove that is his home... a mysterious highland realm of untold beauty and sinister secrets... and a vast wasteland below, where a monstrous danger lurks that could destroy them all.

While searching the forbidden cliffs for a treasure lost in his faded memory, Edgar discovers the first of many startling revelations to come: the three realms are beginning to collapse, turning his entire world inside out. Atherton is not what it seems, but something far more dangerous, with a history locked inside the mind of a madman and a future beyond Edgar's wildest imagining.
