A small-town girl from Sheldon, Iowa, discovers ancient magic, a hidden world, and the power of an Ark that a ruthless dark wizard will kill to control.

Thirteen-year-old Maya believes her biggest worries are school, awkward crushes, and surviving Sunday mass with her adoptive parents in quiet Iowa. But everything changes in a flash of blinding light when she is pulled from her ordinary life into Utopia - a breathtaking realm of magic, legends, and creatures straight out of forgotten myths.

In Utopia, Maya learns she is no ordinary girl. She can teleport across distances, manipulate nature through chlorokinesis, and heal with a single touch. The people of this enchanted world believe she may be the key to unlocking the Ark - a mysterious ancient source of power said to shape worlds... or destroy them.

But Utopia is under siege.

Babi, a cunning dark wizard capable of shapeshifting and self-duplication, hunts the Ark relentlessly. If he claims it, both Utopia and the cosmic veil connecting it to Maya's home world could fall under his control.

As Maya journeys through enchanted forests, sky-beasts, icy citadels, and ruins older than time itself, she uncovers the truth about her ancestry - and her role in a prophecy whispered across ages.

Torn between her life in Iowa and her destiny in this magical realm, Maya must decide whether she is ready to stand against the greatest evil Utopia has ever known.

Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, His Dark Materials, and Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Maya - The Ark is an epic portal fantasy filled with ancient prophecy, breathtaking adventure, and a heroine destined to rise among fantasy's greats.
