When thirteen-year-old Ethan Morus is forced to stay on his grandparents' old farm, he expects to find weathered barns, rusty tools, and a creaky house in need of fresh paint. What he doesn't expect is to hear a legend placing his family at the center of an ancient treasure hunt. Or find burial chambers protected by poltergeists, or a secret lair guarded by an ancient beast. And least of all, Ethan doesn't suspect that powerful sorcerers are watching his every move.

They've found Ethan and believe he is from a line of treasure hunters who possess a rare instinct to locate powerful artifacts. Whether he has the instinct or not, Ethan is faced with a choice-search the Morus property and find what they want or lose yet another family member.

Review

"The Hunter Awakens was a beautifully written and creative tale which kept me glued to the pages. It swept me away on an adventure, into a unique fantasy world filled with dark and light magic. A place where many things are not as they seem. If you're looking for adventure, suspense, and mystery, I definitely recommend you read this book." - Cameo Renae - Bestselling author of the Hidden Wings Series and ARV-3

"As chapters unwind with the grace and power of an epic, middle school readers will find themselves swept away by a wave of intrigue, fantasy, mystery, and most of all, by Ethan's believable dilemmas as he faces a world he never knew existed." D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"J.R. Roper has filled the missing piece in the middle grade paranormal genre. There has been a void since the Spiderwick Chronicles Series, Percy Jackson Series and Harry Potter Series ended. I feel the beginnings of a "void filling" series." - Nerd Girl Official, Gladys #NerdGirlOfficial

2015 Gold Medal Winner & FIVE STAR RATING "J.R. Roper knows how to keep a reader in good suspense with an even distribution of action and compelling characters. It was not easy to detect the good characters from the bad ones because the author is adept in his writing and has an imaginative mind. He will take preteens on an exciting adventure in The Hunter Awakens, Book One of the Morus Chronicles series." - Michelle Stanley for Readers' Favorite

2015 Winner in Tween Fantasy "Roper's natural writing style sweeps the reader into this riveting story, daring his audience to join the hunt in this action-packed adventure." Children's Literary Classics
