Book Description
Keeper of the Lost Cities meets Pokémon in this riveting first book in a middle grade series about a girl who embarks on a treacherous journey with her mystical animal companions to save her family—and the entire kingdom. Twelve-year-old Mia McKenna has grown up in the darkness. It’s all she’s ever known, and she finds comfort in it. Like nearly all the cities in the Kingdom of Lunis, her home of Nubis was plunged into a forever night years ago by the shadowy Reaper King—a figure now only known in nightmares, a cautionary tale warning children to stay safe inside the tall city walls. But all that changes when a mysterious cult storms Nubis, capturing everyone with the ability to protect it—including her parents, the rest of the umbra tamers, and their mystical, powerful creatures made of shadow and starlight. Now, Mia and her brother, Lucas, are the city’s only hope of survival, and Mia must learn to harness her umbra taming abilities to stand any chance of saving her city and rescuing her parents. If she can’t, she’ll lose her soul, and her family, to the Darkness forever.

Book Description
A time of discord, a magic unveiled, a prophecy soon to be fulfilled. The future of Nirus is looking grim. The surface realm’s civil war is raging as rumors spread that their lost Relicblood will return. A new war involving the five realms threatens the fragile balance of this world. Even the Demon kingdoms are fighting amongst themselves. And in the middle are twin reapers, destined for something, if only they knew what it was. After six years trapped inside his twin, Xavier’s soul is finally back in his own body, although his long years in a mindless coma has left him extremely weak. Princess Willow is thrilled to have her fiancé back, but her duties as the Dealth realm’s emissary takes precedence, now that the war has intensified. The twins set sail with Willow on a diplomatic mission to the icy mountains of the Ocean realm, continuing on to the Neverland continent, unaware of the trap the new queen has in store for them. During the long voyage, the reapers are joined by the royal heirs of all five realms, including a Relicblood who should not even exist. And it’s the Shadowblood twins they are counting on. For it has been foretold that when the time comes, these dual champions will be powerful protectors of the true Relicbloods. And that time is almost here.

A Raging Storm. A Spreading Darkness. A Rising Champion. After 2000 years of peace, the Time of Discord is returning to the Five Realms of Nirus. Prophecy claims only the Shadowblood can stop the total destruction of the world. Now, at last he is found! But he is not what the world expected.... for the Gods decided this legendary champion was to be born as twins, Xavier and Alexander, with their magic split between them. It will take the two of them working together to defeat the dark evil that has been brewing for the last 500 years. But will they be ready in time? The bloodthirsty queen of Neverland has been defeated and the true queen of Land reinstated, but the war between the realms is far from over. Now, an entourage of royal Relicblood heirs from each realm, including Death Princess Willow and the twins, board an Airship and sail up to the magnificent floating islands of the Sky realm to avert another war. Little do they know an evil sorcerer has laid a deadly trap for them. Macarius has foreseen that someday soon, the Shadowblood twins will be the only ones capable of spoiling his dark plans. And they both must die before that time arrives... before they find the mystical Relic of Sky, the Phoenix of Scarlet. "Phoenix of Scarlet is a masterpiece of medieval mayhem and feudal machinations.

Tolkien will love this unique and complex fantasy saga of magic, brotherhood and mystery that takes readers on a thrilling journey they won't soon forget!
