Awarded for the Best Fantasy Book Series in British Columbia of 2026.

THE CHOSEN ONE MUST BOND WITH THE ULTIMATE WEAPON … AND STRENGTHEN INCOMPETENT ISLANDERS … OR ELSE BE ENSLAVED BY THE MASTER OF ALL EVIL.

After surviving a fall off a cliff on Pandilone Island, Sophia and her friends discover a cave hideout. Inside are a map and old drawings of the long lost Ultimatrium—a unique short staff that could possibly stand against their greatest enemies. During their quest to locate the staff, they meet a group of remainders—creatures who do not possess any magic. They inform the kids about the upcoming sword hunt competition set up by the almighty Master Scarlon to find his next right-hand man. To prepare for their sneak attack, the weak remainders must navigate harsh spell training as the kids face numerous obstacles to activate the ultimate staff. When the moment finally arrives, is the Chosen One ready to cast the most horrific spell to save Pandilone Island?
