The Alastrine Legend - Tapa dura

Teenage twins Angela and Alison Noland are exploring Carlsbad Caverns when they wander off the trail, become lost, rendered unconscious by a blinding light-and suddenly find themselves two thousand years into the future in Jasper, a dwarven land. There, legend has it that a chosen one known as the Alastrine Savior is destined to rescue mankind from evil.

In this land, the twins meet Dwarflord Ganesh Blackstone and quickly discover that one of them will control the fate of the world. Now under the guidance of Barak Blackstone and his sister, Serylda-and the protection of an elf named Avery-the twins begin training to fulfill their destiny. But just as the twins travel to Avery's homeland of Krikor to meet with Queen Kalika who is anxious to test their skills, a new evil is discovered. As the chosen one's identity is slowly revealed, one sister befriends a badgercat and learns she has special abilities-while the other becomes the leader of a dark army.

In this young adult fantasy, a savior charged to save the world from a determined evil force must rely on help from elves, dwarves, and a badgercat as a powerful battle between good and evil ensues.
