ABOUT "THE BATTLE FOR THE BLACK ONYX":
In the first installment to this series, five ordinary teenagers embark on an incredible journey through space and time after mysteriously acquiring super-human abilities. Along the way, they befriend mystical queens, identical clones, and a falsely convicted invisible spy. Together, they must find the courage to battle an evil, yet familiar villain in hopes of retrieving the most powerful stone in existence: the Black Onyx.
Three teenage friends gain super-human abilities by way of a mysterious neighborhood girl. Forever changing their lives, she asks them to use their new powers to help innocent creatures achieve victory in a universe far, far away. Leaving their carefree lives behind, the teenagers journey to new and wondrous places and fight for their lives protecting complete strangers. They are forced to become adults quickly when they witness a horrible scene of defeat and death. Surprisingly joined by someone familiar, the teenagers embark on an incredible journey to save a life, evoke revenge, and retrieve the Black Onyx- a stone worth killing and dying for. Betrayed by an old friend, the teenagers are faced with an uncertain outcome, and must find the courage to stand united against someone they would have given their own lives for.
