Magical and exciting, full of wonderful creatures, mysterious codes and puzzles, and with four courageous young heroes and heroines, this series will delight all 8 to 12 year olds.

After their village is attacked, a young brother and sister set off on a dangerous quest to save their captured family and friends - and free their land from the Sedah invaders.

Where are Ethan and Lily's parents being held? And where have the Sun Sword and its magical gems been hidden? Joined by their friend Saxon and the determined Princess Roana, Ethan and Lily must solve puzzles and riddles, escape legendary sea monsters and outwit bandits along the way.

But the greatest threat to the children is the sinister Sedah tracker, Sniffer, who is close on their trail ... Can the four friends find the Sun Gem - before the Sedah can find them?

This is a gem of an adventure story . . . This fast-paced action adventure for eight- to twelve-year-olds cracks along at breathtaking speed. Another local author triumph to enjoy.

Charlotte Kennedy, The Manly Daily

This book was a cross between Lord of the Rings and Deltora Quest and Ranger's Apprentice... Jam packed with action and thrills, this book is great!!

Absolutely brilliant! It was one of the best books I've read. I would definitely recommend it to others, it's really, really, really FANTASTIC!!!

Melissa Rigby, age 10, Random House Book Buddies Club

This story was extremely good. I couldn't put the book down. I liked the part when Lily and Ethan tried to find the prisoners that had been captured by Captain Foulash and his men.
