To Save the World is an action-packed, suspenseful story featuring three strong heroines, in-depth characterization in a large cast, and an emphasis on the relationships between the many characters. Four unique races are introduced on Arhka, two of which were created by the author. The world of Arhka has a developed history and evolution to provide the sensation of a living, thriving, changing fantasy world.

When Derrick discovers that his mother, Elise, and his older sister, Stephanie, have gone missing, he's determined to find them. As he retraces their last steps, he crosses paths with Jason, whose younger sister, Eris, disappeared with Derrick's mother and sister. The two team up and embark on a journey that leads them to Arhka. There, the connections between the enemy, Arhka, Earth, and the fate of the three women they're searching for are slowly becoming clear. And they begin to realize that sometimes the darkest threats come from within.
