A fast-paced, magical adventure for ages 9-13 up to adults looking for a fun read. Perfect for fans of Harry Potter, Nevermoor, Percy Jackson, and The Underland Chronicles. Approx. 55,000 words.
Thirteen-year-old twins Kyinda and Kayden Zadekai have never met a secret they didn't want to crack-or a rule they weren't happy to break.
In the small port town of Nova Raza, the siblings live a chaotic but peaceful life... until the arrival of The Raids.
The Dominion-a ruthless global government-has ignored sleepy Nova Raza for years. But now their dreaded R.A.I.D.S. have arrived, and they're taking anyone they deem worthy. Parents from children. Children from parents. If you're chosen, you're taken.
Kyinda and Kayden want no part of The Dominion or The Raids. Their plan is simple: stay quiet, stay out of the way, and definitely stay out of trouble.
The only problem? They have a way of finding trouble.
With Kyinda's hatred of secrets and Kayden's endless thirst for knowledge, the twins are quickly pulled into mysteries they'd be better off avoiding. Secrets like the shady dealings between the town governor and Nova Raza's most unsavoury character, and the Resistance, whose existence could threaten the entire town.
To prepare for what's coming, their parents enrol them in secret training-magic and martial arts under two unlikely mentors: the gruff, no-nonsense Mr Groundsson (a.k.a. Grandpa Grouchy), and Nanny Milly, the crazy old witch in the woods.
They'll need all the help they can get-from their diverse crew of school friends (a baker, a pirate, a scientist, a joker, and Yue, who's just... Yue), and their not-quite-pets: Pulpo the secretive septopus, and Ozzy the loud, greedy Crockatoo (yes, that's Crockatoo with an R).
Between dodging Dominion Assessors, decoding secrets, and learning to wield ancient power-all while surviving school-this year will be anything but ordinary.
Oh, and the ground is starting to rumble.
Children of the Raids - Part 1 kicks off The Zadekai Twins, a seven-year fantasy adventure full of danger, laughter, family, and magical mayhem.
