Four normal modern day teenagers are plunged into a world they thought only existed in novels and film. They are whisked away to a magical land where dragons roam the skies, orcs and hobgoblins terrorize travelers, and kingdoms wage war for dominance.

It is a world that is foreign to them. We learn as they learn. And what hope do these teens have in this strange Middle Earth world? How can they survive against wizards, dwarves, halflings, dragons, and trolls if they had a hard time making it in high school? It is a world of fantasy. Of imagination. It is the Realm. THIS ISSUE: "e;THE DARKNESS BEFORE THE DAWN"e; - The epic battle! The great power from one of the members of the group is revealed. One, make that two, of the group fall including one of the teens who is now going home.
