From a far land, Jaben's rift, book 1

"Jason Bennett never intended to change the world, his own or anyone else's. Then a family vacation becomes a journey to Teleria, a place where magic works and humans aren't the only intelligent race. Thought to be Jaben, a powerful figure foretold to hold the fate of Teleria in his hands, Jason gets caught in a dangerous tug of war between Teleria's ruling Circle of Nine and one of his own ancestors who opposes the Circle. Unable to return home, Jason must learn to use power he isn't convinced he has, keep from triggering an all out war, and survive the plans of some in the Circle who believe his death is the only thing that will save Teleria. Not exactly the vacation he had planned."
