Slumbering

Destiny's calling—and Hamilton Dinger wishes it had the wrong number.

A narcissistic teenager with a charmed life.

A city under supernatural siege.

An adventure he never asked for (and will probably complain about).

Sixteen-year-old Hamilton Dinger has it all: top grades, star-athlete status, legendary Tetris skills, and enough charm to coast through life. He's got his eye on winning the girl of his dreams, Gwen Kessler, and ruling the halls of Apollo Central High School. Everything's perfect...until it's not.

When a meteor crashes into Apollo City, it doesn't just destroy property—it unleashes the Seven Deadly Sinisters, their evil leader Orpheus, and a massive headache for Hamilton. Oh, and it also triggers the awakening of his latent supernatural powers. Now, instead of worrying about his social life, Hamilton is stuck teaming up with Elysian, a no-nonsense changeling dragon, and Starry Knight, a mysterious, beautiful, and annoyingly perfect warrior.

Their mission? Protect the souls of Apollo City from an ancient evil bent on destruction.

But Hamilton isn't exactly the heroic type—he's more into dodging responsibility than embracing destiny. Can he set aside his ego long enough to step up? And will he be ready to face the truth about himself, even if it means losing everything?

Full of action, wit, and sarcastic humor, Slumbering is the first installment of The Starlight Chronicles, a coming-of-age Christian fantasy series perfect for fans of reluctant heroes, supernatural adventures, and epic battles of good versus evil.

FROM THE BOOK: 

At the time, I didn't really believe that anything outside my control would change my life. Or at least, not in a significant, substantial way. My life was all about myself, and I figured I had complete control over that. Anything that happened outside of my control was more or less because I let it happen, and didn't feel like stopping it.

It's funny how one disaster of epic proportion can really make you change your mind.
