The Choice

H.L. Phoenix

It is said that the one who casts the smallest shadow is the weakest. But sometimes, it is the one who shines the brightest …

In book 3, Arkin has convinced the Council to postpone the eradication of humanity. However, in return, he is sent on a journey alone, a journey from which returning is impossible, they say. Arkin must make a fateful choice that will forever impact both his world and the magical reality.

Arkin is a beautiful portal fantasy series where dreams come true, where loneliness and longing saves lives, and where the smallest person casts the biggest shadow. Arkin is a lonely, creatively gifted and anxious boy who has always felt like an outsider, and since the death of his mother, loneliness threatens to devour him completely. Everything changes one day, when a mysterious older caretaker at his school leaves him with a strange riddle. As the clever Arkin solves the riddle, a magical world unravels before him. The Arkin series, planned to be four instalments, is a stunningly illustrated epic for children and adults ages 9 and up. The first three books in the series, The SecretThe Hope and The Choice are already published, and book four is planned for autumn 2025.
