When Jarrod Grant was fourteen years old, he watched helplessly as a troll-like creature emerged from a portal in his bedroom and abducted both his mother, and his younger brother. He spent years brooding over the fact that they were gone, but during his senior year of high school, two very special girls would change everything.

Tina and Sarah, made it their mission to find him some answers about what had happened to his family. Their research led them to a woman named Patricia Samuels, who gave them far more answers than they'd bargained for. Not only was she able to tell them what happened to Jarrod's family, but she also provided them with something far more valuable.

Through her research, she was able to locate the only person who'd ever returned after being abducted. That man provided her with notebooks full of information about his time as a slave in another dimension, and he also provided her with something she hadn't dared to hope for. He gave her the amulet he'd used to get back home. An amulet that was capable of opening portals to five different dimensions, including the one where Jarrod's family were being held in slavery, along with many others.

With this ability now in hand, they set off on their first forays into the Faranox dimension with the goal of securing an amulet for each member of the team, after which, the planning and execution of the rescue mission will finally commence.
About the Author: Duane L. Martin grew up in Northern California, and later moved to Boise, Idaho, where he and his wife Sharon currently live with their two border collies, Buddy and Rusty. An avid reader from a very young age, he's been inspired by a wide variety of authors, including Robert Asprin, Jody Lynn Nye, R.A. Salvatore, Ed Greenwood and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It was the Hardy Boys novels that he discovered in the second grade however that inspired his great love of reading. Duane spent years working as a PC Technician, but as much as he enjoyed working on computers, writing had always been his first love. After several failed attempts at writing full-length novels over the years, in 2013 he finally hit on a story that inspired him, and from that one little spark of inspiration, the Unseen Things series was born. The first novel, Origins, was first published in November of 2013, and was subsequently followed over the next three years by twenty more books in the series, as well as one other non-series standalone novel, with more to come in the future. Aside from his writing, Duane is also a musician. He took his first bass guitar lesson in 1987, and has been playing bass ever since. He also plays some guitar, a little keyboard, and can play some basic drum rhythms without embarrassing himself. As he's always been a great lover of music, he often has it playing quietly in the background while he writes.
