The Quest is an adventure series that is set in the Caribbean, which follows five Caribbean children, Tiana Webb and her four friends, who embark upon an epic adventure across the Caribbean to return three amulets to their rightful owners. Their adventure takes them on a mythical and magical journey across the Caribbean and encounters with scary folklore characters from different Caribbean countries.
The Quest adventure series provide an insight into the Caribbean culture; those things that make the Caribbean different from anywhere else in the world. The stories feature some popular and some little-known folklore characters (mythical personalities, creatures and monsters) that are peculiar to a single country or found in multiple Caribbean countries; and will give readers worldwide an exciting insight into the creative, terrifying and magical folklore of the Caribbean.
Combining the strong storytelling tradition of the Caribbean with new and emerging technologies that offer the opportunity to develop stories that are interactive, The Quest eBook series gives the reader the control over the direction they want the story to go. Readers will have to choose respective page numbers at strategic junctures in the story, which will decide how the story progresses and ends!
Additionally, The Quest eBook series challenge the traditional view that books, unlike games, are linear and that the reader usually goes from one cover of the book to the other. In the 21st Century, that does not and probably should not be the case. Technology provides the perfect opportunity to create products that cut across genres - books with gaming elements. Since games use stories as the basis for creating games, it’s only fair to return the favour.
One of the things that make The Quest adventure series different from traditional books is that based on the path selected by the reader, he or she will encounter different Caribbean folklore characters along the journey - some may be magical but others dangerous! That means no two readers will have the same experiences! Additionally, the same reader can also have multiple experiences in the same book as they have the option to go back and select other paths to explore.
In the first book, The Quest: The Golden Amulet, 11-year-old Tiana finds the mysterious amulet of Tal Awaha in the abandoned church yard near her home and then, along with her friends, embark upon an epic adventure to return the amulet to a civilization of ancient people called the Peaceful Ones.
The Quest: The Golden Amulet comes to Amazon and BookFusion soon!
