The Crown Maze
Book One of the Ambrosia Series
Budding app designer Derrick Jensen wants to win his school’s chocolate bar fundraiser and take home the top prize—an Alienware laptop. He doesn’t believe in magic. He barely believes in gym class.
But when Derrick and his rival, Bethany, are kidnapped while selling candy bars and whisked away to a secret cocoa plantation in the Caribbean, the truth becomes impossible to ignore: magic is real—and Derrick is a magical slave.
Forced to enchant chocolate day and night under the watch of powerful overseers, Derrick dreams of escape. There’s just one catch—he only knows two spells, the ones required for his job.
This isn’t Hogwarts. There are no kindly professors. No magical feasts. And if Derrick fails to escape, it won'''t mean a bad mark on an O.W.L.
It could mean death.
Determined to win his freedom, Derrick turns to the only source of magical knowledge he has—his fellow slaves. By combining coding with spellcraft, he begins to unravel the system that holds them captive.
But time is running out. Because as bad as their current masters are, even darker forces are preparing a hostile magical takeover.
Genre: Children's Fiction
