Hidden right next door to the notorious Area 51 is an even more secretive underground lab known as Area 53. This highly classified government facility holds the anomalies, which are Earth-born mythical creatures like fairies, wyverns, and manticores captured for careful study. Eleven-year-old Ollie Robles and his best friend Garen Jackson have grown up safely within these cement walls as the children of the lead researchers. Their quiet lives are thrown into absolute chaos when they accidentally free six magical anomalies, including a mischievous baby manticore, a golem named Henry, and a llamacorn. Now, it is entirely up to Ollie and Garen to chase down the escaped creatures before it is too late. You will journey alongside them as their high-stakes pursuit leads them out of the lab and through a mysterious portal into Shadowland. In this dangerous and amazing magical world, they must face down goblin armies and angry ogres while trying to bring the creatures home. Along the way, the two friends discover a shocking truth about their own past that changes everything.
