# Cameron Battle and the Hidden Kingdoms - Hardcover

by **Jamar J. Perry** (Author)

**Inspired by West African and Igbo history and mythology, this adventurous middle-grade fantasy debut perfect for fans of Aru Shah and Tristan Strong celebrates the triumphs and challenges of a boy finding his truth path to greatness.**

_As the true Descendant, I command to open_  
_The door to Chidani; it shall be broken_

_Magic awaits those who seek the queen's peace_  
_And all the suffering you feel will cease_

_Those who open the histories will hear a sound_  
_What was lost has finally been found._

Cameron Battle grew up reading _The Book of Chidani_, cherishing stories about the fabled kingdom that cut itself off from the world to save the Igbo people from danger. Passed down over generations, the Book is Cameron's only connection to his parents who disappeared one fateful night, two years ago.

Ever since, his grandmother has kept the Book locked away, but it calls to Cameron. When he and his best friends, Zion and Aliyah, decide to open it again, they are magically transported to Chidani. Instead of a land of beauty and wonder, they find a kingdom in extreme danger, as the queen's sister seeks to destroy the barrier between worlds. The people of Chidani have been waiting for the last Descendant to return and save them . . . is Cameron ready to be the hero they need?
