Gabriel’s Song (The Adamah Chronicles)

Gabriel didn’t expect anything unusual to happen on his fourteenth birthday, as nothing unusual had ever happened to anyone in Topia—but when he discovers a secret about his past, he must abandon his family in their time of greatest need, becoming the first person to leave his village in more than five hundred years.

Gabriel Andrews was not looking forward to his fourteenth birthday. Everyone he knew, and a few that he didn’t, would show up in his backyard to hear his decision about the Academy. But Gabriel had little interest in Art or Medicine or any other Academy class. What interested him more than anything was the steep, looming Western Ridge that sat just beyond the boundary of Topia. No one—in more than five hundred years—had crossed the boundary, not from the valley out into the world or from the outside world into the valley.

When Gabriel and his friends discover a hidden cave, everything changes. A forbidden language, a mysterious message, and an ancient prophecy open the door to the world of Adamah—where no Topian has ever set foot.

But this door to the outside world also brings evil to Topia—right to Gabriel’s back door.

Enter an adventure of mystery and magic as Gabriel and his friends leave everything behind to seek the truth about his past—and perhaps save the world along the way.

This debut novel from Jana Spooner weaves Christian themes of faith, hope, and perseverance into an exciting fantasy adventure the whole family will enjoy.
