"On my Marks, the Seven rest. By your Marks, truly blessed." Welcome to the beginning of THE KALEIDOSCOPE CHRONICLES: BOOK ONE - LOST IN DARA. PART ONE-JACK'S FOLLY contains the first sixteen chapters from the Family-Friendly Young Adult Fantasy LOST IN DARA. Each part of this set is formatted as a serial in the timeless spirit of classic stories and films for your fast-paced reading enjoyment. After completing JACK's FOLLY, the incredible adventures of Jack, Emma and Holly continue in PART TWO - THE RED COREN. Let the adventure begin... When Jack - a boy with pure white eyes - and his two strangely-birthmarked sisters break into their dad's hidden study, they discover a mysterious kaleidoscope that lets Jack alone see a glowing red doorway. Unable to resist, Jack steps through the light, dragging Emma and Holly with him. Now trapped in Dara, a land where color Marks mean everything, the siblings are seen as a threat and imprisoned by the Red Guardian and her Sisterhood. Helped by a freckle-faced servant girl named Acorn, the kids narrowly escape and fight for survival. With the aid of a banished Captain, a revenge-minded warrior, and a singing thief, they launch a desperate search for the first of seven items needed to fully activate the scope - the key to getting back home. But unbeknownst to them, another seeks the power of the Kaleidoscope. The legendary Angel of the Abyss, known as Sii, desires the scope to escape her world and destroy the Earth. The worst part isn't even the shrieking of the black Shards hunting them at night or the hounding from Sii's Dark General, a creature called Order born in the pit of Admahgon itself - Emma and Holly are singled out as Guardians, their seven-colored Marks giving them not only staggering powers but also a death sentence. And Jack is a Zero, a boy with no Marks in a place where status and power is based on your colors.A million miles from home and he's still a freak.
