The Enchanted Arcade Chronicles: The Token Of Secrets (Book 1)

I am showcasing my newest novel series! Below you will find the book information for the first book and I will link the Amazon links to the book when it releases here in a few more days!

“Every token holds a secret. Every game hides a world.”

Twelve-year-old Max Ryder never expected his birthday at the run-down WonderBurrow Arcade to change his life forever. But when he wins a strange golden token from a forgotten claw machine, the games around him begin to whisper, shadows crawl from broken machines, and the star of the arcade stage—an animatronic mouse named Chucktail—suddenly comes to life.

Drawn into a hidden world beneath the arcade, Max discovers the WonderBurrow Academy, where magical guardians—anthropomorphic animals who once only performed for kids—train chosen children to defend both realms from dark forces. With the help of Chucktail and his fellow Guardians, Max learns that tokens aren’t just for games—they’re keys to powers linked to the arcade’s enchanted worlds.

But a dangerous threat is rising. Glitch Beasts, born from corrupted machines, are spreading through the arcade, and their attacks seem anything but random. Whispers of an ancient betrayal hint at something—or someone—guiding them.

Armed with courage, friendship, and his one-of-a-kind token, Max must take his first steps into this magical new world. If he fails, the arcade he loves—and the magic behind it—could be lost forever.
