Description

This new fantasy-adventure series from N. D. Wilson, bestselling author of 100 Cupboards, pits a misfit twelve-year-old against a maniacal villain with a deadly vendetta. This one-of-a kind story is must read for fans of Brandon Mull and Soman Chainani, and the start of a thrilling tale from a masterful storyteller.

Sam Miracle’s life is made up of dreams, dreams where he’s a courageous, legendary hero instead of a foster kid with two bad arms that can barely move. Sometimes these dreams feel so real, they seem like forgotten memories. And sometimes they make him believe that his arms might come alive again.

But Sam is about to discover that the world he knows and the world he imagines are separated by only one thing: time. And that separation is only an illusion. The laws of time can be bent and shifted by people with special magic that allows them to travel through the past, present, and future. But not all of these “time walkers” can be trusted. One is out to protect Sam so that he can accept his greatest destiny, and another is out to kill him so that a prophecy will never be fulfilled. However, it’s an adventurous girl named Glory and two peculiar snakes who show Sam the way through the dark paths of yesterday to help him make sure there will be a tomorrow for every last person on earth.


  • A Prophecy to Fulfill: An ancient evil is hunting Sam Miracle to stop him from becoming the hero he’s destined to be.
  • Westerns for Kids: Sam’s dreams are full of gunslingers and outlaws, but he’s about to find out those “dreams” are actually memories from a dangerous past.
  • Found Family: He may be a foster kid, but Sam isn’t alone. An adventurous girl named Glory and his Ranch Brothers have his back when it counts.
  • Time Travel Magic: Follow Sam as he learns the secrets of the “time walkers,” people who can bend reality and travel through yesterday to save tomorrow.
