Arrowhead and the Hardigons

About the Book

Arrowhead and the Hardigons is a fantasy-adventure novel. Christian and his pet snake, Arrowhead, are accidentally trapped inside a video game they are playing during a raging thunderstorm. It transforms then to a strange new world where the game characters have become real, and Arrowhead can now talk, perform and do tricks that would be considered magical.

They meet Tombers, a giant flying spider, who helps them in their quest for a way to return home. But first they must seek the assistance of the King of the Hardigons, Arlain. The king wants to assist them but is powerless without the use of 7 magical spheres, known as the Karn. The horrible giant king Gorgon has stolen them, rendering the Hardigons powerless. The Karn is the only power source that can help Christian and Arrowhead return home.

To the dismay of Christian, Arrowhead volunteers their services to the good king Arlain in helping with the return of the crystals. In order to help achieve Hardigon victory, and secure their trip home they must secretly sneak into the Fortress of Shadows, Gorgon's home and find the hidden Karn deep within the dreaded Goop Caves.
