The Lord of Salamander

Elijah Pendleton lives in a world short on magic: his home is the smallest small town in the middle of nowhere and his guardians are two misanthropic aunts who treat him very badly. When he first sees a strange cat in the backyard, he can scarcely imagine that its appearance will change his life forever. Soon, Elijah is thrust into a new world of Enchanters and magic,leaving his old life behind. It is a place of wonder and fear, good and evil,magic and mystery--the land of Salamander and the Mythic Realms. But if he is to cross these dangerous lands and finally reunite with his lost parents, Elijah must first be able to master the power within himself.  

Adventurous, magical, wholly unpredictable and timeless,T.H. Alexander's The Lord of Salamander is one well-cast tale that will make readers believe in magic all over again.
