The Quest for the Temple Key

Danielle has never thought of herself as all that special. Sure, her archaeologist parents are famous for discovering a strange key next to an unidentified fossil, just before she was born. But that's the last thing on her mind when she absentmindedly walks past a strange new portico and knocks on the door of the last house on Larch Drive, the final on her new paper route. Just before everything goes utterly black, she hears a loud crack and sees a huge feather drift to her feet.

Alone, she must face her abductors, two very real and enormous gargoyles, Ercen and Kimar, and decide whether she trusts them. Was she kidnapped--as all the evidence indicates--or rescued from doom, like they say? Can she believe their assertion that she is the "Chosen One" that will help save the entire world from the diabolical gargoyle, Kahrnahrgx? How can a simple girl break the monstrous power of the key to the temple of Kahrnahrgx, crafted from the very soul of a broken, elderly woman?

The Quest for the Temple Key is the 1st volume in The Gargoyle Chronicles series.
