An exciting mystery series for kids!
Steve, Matt, and Jenny always dreamed of becoming detectives. One day, their dreams become reality when they discover an ancient treasure map written by a pirate named Elias Darby over three hundred years ago. According to legend, the dying pirate hid a magical stone with mysterious powers somewhere in the Northern California hills, with only a poem titled El Alma de Dios as the key to locating it.
As the trio begins their search for the treasure, they unknowingly attract the attention of an international jewel thief named Frank Alexander. When the investigation leads the three friends to a string of hidden caves filled with booby-traps, they are confronted by the jewel thief and his diabolical plan to force the kids to find the stone and give it to him. Given no choice, the detectives must brave the dangerous traps to find the hidden treasure and develop a plan to outsmart the jewel thief.

BACK.Sixteen-year-old Daniel Thatcher has accepted some hard truths. He knows his parents are junkies, his ex-girlfriend’s a cheater, and he’s one write-up away from losing his job; but what he’s unwilling to accept is that his friend Tony skipped town for no reason. So when Daniel finds a map Tony left behind, he follows it to a remote section of the Cascade Mountains.It’s a land filled with haunting shadows and crowded trees, where birds don’t sing and animals don’t rustle. It feels cursed in its silence, and Daniel’s convinced he’s uncovered a place no man has touched—nor would ever want to.Only he’s wrong.Daniel ultimately discovers inhabitants living in the heart of the forest. Despite their peculiar behavior, the reclusive residents possess an allure that goes far beyond their beauty. They are charming and enigmatic, every piece captivating. They seem almost mythical in nature—and perhaps a touch dangerous.Because something isn’t right about them—or the land they call home. Daniel doesn’t know it yet, but beneath their lovely exterior rests a sinister secret, one that’s both lethal and tragic: death isn’t always the end.Before long,Daniel will be forced to accept the hardest truth of all: monsters do exist, and if they have it their way, he’ll soon become one.A dark, urban paranormal, Colors of Immortality is the first book in its series. Each installment features a bonus short story following the epilogue titled, The Legend. Too important to be missed, this short gives valuable insight into the villain (and can possibly twist the entire narrative). WARNING: This series grows darker with each subsequent book. Read with care.

“That wood is always in my dreams. It’s super creepy,” Miya said. “Be careful.”
Craving a contemporary fantasy escape packed with unique magic, more questions than can be answered, and a girl who has to find her fire when everything’s falling apart? Then The Queen’s Dark Ambition will pull you in and refuse to let go. It’s the kind of story that blends eerie chills with real emotional punches. Readers call it “a twisted, whimsical young adult fantasy that fuses playfulness with eeriness” (Independent Book Review).
This gripping first book in the Fairies Among Us series follows 14-year-old Stacy, a flawed and fierce heroine who is drowning in change. She has just blown up her friendship with Jas and Anjali by dropping the bombshell that she is switching schools, and they have ghosted her. Her parents are at war with her. The new house is a total nightmare. The move is the absolute worst thing ever.
When she dreams of a local wood and visits it, she jumps over the stream and leaps into a hidden realm where fairies are sacrificing a girl. Unable to contact emergency services, she tries to help, only to be confronted by a mysterious stranger who recognises her and warns her to stay away.
After she discovers local children are missing, and she hasn’t seen her phone since the night of the sacrifice, Stacy returns to the wood. Could these fairies, who hate humans, be real? And are they linked to the disappearances?
Captured by the fairies, she finds herself trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse with their cruel, ghost-like Queen. With the help of a centuries-old wizard named Bower, she uncovers a chilling conspiracy of imprisoned children; a queen consumed by pure evil, and a hunger for the power of the stars that could doom the entire world.
Can a girl who is still figuring out who she is stand up to a queen who abandoned love long ago? If Stacy fails, the missing kids won’t be the only ones who pay. The fate of the entire world hangs in the balance, including her friends and family.
Blending Christian faith, supernatural mystery, and coming-of-age grit, The Queen’s Dark Ambition explores themes of identity, belonging, and spiritual warfare in a dangerous hidden realm. Low-spice and character-driven, this young adult fantasy is perfect for readers who enjoy clean fantasy with strong moral and faith undertones, angsty heroines finding their strength, and magic that carries real consequences.
If you love stories where faith meets the supernatural and a young girl must choose between fear and courage, step into the wood with Stacy.
