Twelve year old Jacob Cobbs is about to embark on an incredible odyssey that will take him to a parallel earth where he must destroy an evil sorcerer king named Gerard. Jacob must accomplish this task before the king can steal Jacob's "life force", which would give King Gerard the power he needs to enter our earth and establish his new, evil kingdom. A Faraway Place is a thrilling, frightening, and spine-tingling fantasy/adventure about one boy's journey to find within himself the strength, courage, hope, and determination to end the reign of an evil sorcerer and save two worlds from destruction.
