Joy has never felt like she belonged. Orphaned young, teased for her differences, and constantly shifting through foster homes, she carries more questions than answers about who she really is. But when her mysterious onyx pendant shines with an unearthly light, Joy is swept through a hidden doorway into Archiavaland-a realm of dazzling beauty and lurking shadows.

There, she meets Johnny, a quick-witted three-legged cricket with a pocket watch, and Zephyr, a blind eagle who sees more than sight can reveal. Together, they embark on a quest through glowing rivers, ancient doors, and enchanted caverns. But the Shadow, a dark force that feeds on fear and doubt, is never far behind.

To survive-and to discover the truth of her identity-Joy must summon courage she never knew she had, unlock the power of her pendant, and step into the role she was born to play.

The Archer and the Key: The Search is a magical coming-of-age fantasy filled with wonder, danger, and hope. Perfect for readers who love A Wrinkle in Time, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Keeper of the Lost Cities.
