If he cannot believe in himself and accept that he is much more than what he sees in the mirror, the Dark Master will have finally won. Violet has absolute faith in him; Narya trusts that Destiny will always find a way; only Charlie cannot understand why or how he can possibly be the hero they all think he is - and he doesn't believe in magic either!

When he loses everything to the forces of the Dark he has no choice but to join Violet in her search for the other Watchers of the Crystal shards and hope that somehow along the way he finds the magic and belief in himself before it's too late.

Dark is the opening book in the spectacular Crystal Legacy series where we meet Charlie and his friends as they start an epic adventure that will change their lives forever. As they battle their way across a magical world that is not as far removed from our own world as you might at first think, they face trials and tribulations that will test their courage, self-belief, loyalties, and friendship to the limit.

In a sweeping tale full of twists and turns, dark magic, love, and sacrifice, we will travel with Charlie as he battles demons all around him as well as those within…but who will win? That is, as yet, the unknown end of the tale and to have an ending every story must first have a beginning.

Dark is the start of Charlie’s story.
