Disappearance

Disappearance: The First Part of Trickery and Honest Deception is a delightful, modern-day tale about a young man's discovery of his own magical powers. Darren Whalley is an ordinary teenager who, for no apparent reason, begins to have a series of disturbing dreams that are dominated by dark tunnels and mysterious, shadowy characters. As if this isn't strange enough, he also discovers a physical strength he never knew he possessed. Darren realizes something very strange is happening to him and is anxious to get to the bottom of it. His curiosity is further aroused when he witnesses a magician from a visiting carnival levitate during a performance. Convinced this is connected to the bizarre incidents occurring in his own life, he sneaks backstage to test his theory and inadvertently comes face-to-face with a magician who is eager to introduce him to the mysterious world of the unexplained. Determined to understand why he has been bestowed with such remarkable gifts, Darren confides in Sarah, his intuitive sister, and Joe, his impetuous best friend. Together they embark on an amazing journey to determine the origin of Darren's supernatural powers - a journey that becomes increasingly complex with the discovery of a mysterious ancient artifact found in a secret room in his father's antique store. Along the way, Darren and his cohorts encounter many challenges, including a chilling incident in a dilapidated old mine, strong opposition from Darren's skeptical parents and an evil kidnapper with malicious intentions and potent supernatural powers - a deadly combination.
