Maxwell Morgan is only twelve—but the fate of the world is already on his shoulders.

When his mother is possessed by Thuuna, an ancient primordial goddess with genocidal ambitions, Maxwell will do anything to save her. Even if that means making the worst decision imaginable: freeing Thuuna’s immortal enemy, the long-imprisoned Ghraagg’endah—Gorilla God of Chaos.

Joined by his loyal French bulldog and four elemental-powered cave people, Maxwell must convince the volatile ape god to help stop Thuuna before she destroys the world—and claim his mom back from a deity that never forgives and never forgets.
