The Dragon's Eye

Erec Rex is no ordinary boy: his family consists of his adoptive mother and six mismatched siblings, he has a glass eye that doesn't quite match his normal one, and he lives in an apartment so tiny he sleeps next to the washing machine... But of all the strange things about Erec, his dark thoughts are certainly the worst. One morning, Erec's mother disappears, and a dark thought drives him to do something to find her. The clues lead him to Bethany, the niece of a newspaper vendor, who reveals she saw his mother being taken by two men through a secret passage. The girl not only knows the access code to the secret passage in the booth, but also wants to go through it with him. Erec and Bethany begin a journey full of adventure and danger through an unknown world beneath New York City, which holds the magic that the Land Above has already lost. There, unsure of what to do or where to go, the two end up participating in a tournament that will decide who will be the next kings of Alypium, Aorth, and Acaena—the kingdoms of this magical world. For Erec, winning the tournament may be the only way to stay there and find his mother. The trials are difficult, but persevering is his only hope... And he never imagined that, in fact, that mysterious universe has much more to do with his own life than he could have imagined... THE EYE OF THE DRAGON introduces the extraordinary world of the Erec Rex series. In a fun, fascinating, and fantasy-filled book, Kaza Kingsley manages to delight fans of the genre, of all ages.
