King of Realms by Britt Asher is a middle-grade sci/fi story about Varric, a teleporter who is more or less an outcast in his country. He is on a quest to steal an essential item because he thinks it will help save his mother's life. Or at least that’s what he’s been told by someone he trusts. But of course, things go sideways, and after being jailed, he is sent to retrieve the item from the real thief within two weeks otherwise, he won’t live much beyond the ripe old age of 12. He is accompanied by a princess and a strange man who has unreal powers at his disposal. They set off to figure out the mystery: what or who is this creature who stole the relic, and how are they going to get it back?

But as the story progresses we realize the value of the relic, and how it will soon shape the destiny of humankind. This story is fun, fast-paced, and endearing.

This is book one of five in the series, so if you have a middle-schooler who enjoys a fantasy series read, I recommend checking out this book.
