Time Stone Chronicles

Sydney Morgan, a sixteen-year-old girl with a black belt in karate, thinks her world has fallen apart. A close friend offends her, her mother is diagnosed with cancer, and her father--who abandoned them years ago--comes back into her life. Just when Syd thinks this nightmare will never end, a time stone takes her to Captain Helaman and his stripling warriors of the Book of Mormon. But Helaman takes the time stone, calls her a spy, and has Tarik--his second-in-command--throw her in the stockade. Tarik learns Syd is a time-traveling girl with fighting skills he's never seen before and falls in love with her. Syd desperately wants to return home to be with her dying mother. Tarik has two choices: tell Helaman Syd's true gender and risk losing her when she's sent home, or not tell Helaman so Syd can train him and his warrior brothers. The choice is impossible. If Syd stays she could die in the war. If she leaves, the Lamanites could win. The battles are heating up. Tarik must choose.

After traveling back in time and barely surviving the Battle for Cumeni, sixteen-year-old karate expert, Sydney Morgan is desperate to find Tarik, the stripling warrior she loves. Even when they are finally reunited, their trials have just begun. Captain Helaman sends Tarik and Syd on a dangerous mission with Ozi, an elderly warrior as their guide. They must find Captain Moroni and ask for more troops. On their journey, Tarik is injured and returns to Manti. Syd and Ozi continue on without him. As Tarik recuperates, a voice beseeches him to "go to her." Believing Syd is in danger, he sets out to find her. Will Syd and Ozi find Captain Moroni? Will Tarik and Syd be together again? Will Syd ever return to her family and home?

Travel back to Book of Mormon times.

Things have not been the same for sixteen-year-old Tag Quincy since his father and brother left. Wanting to be alone and make statements with his graffiti art, Tag can hardly believe that a gang called the Primes want him to become a member. They even threaten to beat up his nerdy cousin, Ethan, unless he joins. His mother finds out and sends him to spend the summer with his Grandpa Quincy, but when Tag learns Ethan will be there as well, he decides enough is enough and runs away. A storm forces him to seek shelter in a cabin where he meets three very different men who have an extraordinary object—a stone that glows brighter than the stars.

When Tag holds the stone, it propels him through time to an ancient land, which looks a lot like Book of Mormon times. He is swept up in a fight where Sabirah, the daughter of Samuel the Lamanite, captures the daughter of wicked King Jacob. Sabirah believes the king is holding her father and brother and hopes the king will let them go in exchange for his daughter. Tag helps Sabirah, but the princess escapes. And worse still, Tag realizes the princess stole the time-traveling stone. As guardian of the stone, Tag is determined to get it back. But he is captured by the king and about to be sacrificed to an evil idol when the ground begins to shake and crack open. A violent storm sweeps the land and leaves the world in utter darkness.

Will Tag ever find the stone?

Will Sabirah ever find her father and brother?

And will Tag ever go back to his own time?
