New Release Spins Fanciful Tale of Powerful Magic and Determined Brothers; Book by Michael Hart and Maria Howard, Released by Dog Ear Publishing

Grenada Hills, CA, August 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Troubled 12-year-old Danny and his 8-year-old brother Matt find three crystals with mysterious powers during an archaeological dig in Peru with their anthropologist grandfather. As the boys try to elude a sinister enemy who wants the stones for himself, they travel to a parallel world and get help from an Inca chief, a new friend called a Tormac and other unusual creatures. The boys use a magical gateway to transport between this exciting new world and theirs, working on a mission for the Incas while fighting off their elusive foe.

The Shaman’s Crystals, published by Dog Ear Publishing, starts with a middle school prank, a two-week suspension, and a fiendish murder. From there it’s all uphill as Danny and Matt begin an adventure of a lifetime that will lead them to a hidden silver skull, containing several crystals that unlocks a gate between the boys’ world and Xochomba, a parallel universe. As their story continues, the brothers become embroiled in an ancient battle of good versus evil. Will the stones provide enough protection for them to survive and to save the Incas, or will greed and evil prevail? This adventure tale, set against the backdrop of the exotic allure of Machu Pichu, offers one twist after another until the final, thrilling conclusion.
