The adventure –

Katelin is just another thirteen-year-old Peruvian girl with her fair share of problems, however these are no ordinary troubles of a teenager!

She has powerful ancient crystals in her possession, which an evil wizard is trying to obtain to destroy our world!   But she gives the magical stones to her Grandfather and stepbrother, Calum, in England, and they are able to programme a laptop into a teleporting device.

The evil wizard kidnaps Katelin’s Mother hoping to exchange her for the crystals but Calum manages to rescue her and in doing so they both discover who they are and that they both have extraordinary supernatural abilities.   In a battle to save our dimension, will their special gifts be enough?   As they realize it is no longer a game – could their fears mean our world will be lost?

Chapter fifteen:

His humming turned to a screech and almost immediately TWENTY warriors appeared (he wanted to be sure) behind the creatures.

Chapter sixteen:

The wizard's eyes were as black as coal and they were like two empty holes. Suddenly he flung out a finger towards Calum and a blue lightening streak hit him across his chest and pushed him spinning and revolving backwards until he hit the granite of one of the standing stones. He slipped unconscious to the ground without a sound.
