What this book is about
Brandon Mull's first Beyonders novel follows Jason, who is transported into Lyrian, a world under the complete control of the evil Maldor. His only hope — and the hope of everyone in Lyrian — is to find the syllables of a Word powerful enough to destroy the wizard. Mull's world-building is imaginative and the adventure is propulsive. Appropriate for middle-grade readers and above.
