Synopsis

Shannon thought there was no such thing as real magic. Until that day. The day that changed everything.

Put yourself in her shoes. Would you open your eyes, if you were the one that heard them? Two magic-takers from another world, arguing about whether they can collect what they came for before you wake up. It sounds like a crazy dream, or a practical joke.

But what if the air around you started to vibrate with an invisible force field? What if, all at once, it felt scary yet familiar too? You would have no way of knowing that your life would change forever. That this discovery would set you on a path no-one from our world has taken for centuries. Towards a deadly enemy, and a fight that you will almost certainly lose.

All you know is that your heart is beating so fast you’re worried they will hear it, and your brain is starting to buzz as the force field reaches it. Would you open your eyes?

Join Jax and Shannon as they live through the most exciting and terrifying ten days of their lives (so far!)

Capturing Magic [2]

It's your average new school nightmare. Classes you've never taken, teachers you've never met before. Having to pass a really difficult entrance exam. Oh, and upsetting the most popular girl in the school before you've even arrived.

Except this school is the Seminary of Magic on Androva. A world you only discovered a few weeks ago. You're a brand new magician, with a brand new boyfriend, and unfortunately you're about to discover a brand new enemy, who will stop at nothing to get their hands on some magic.

But how do you know who you can trust? If you get it wrong, you might end up paying with your life...

Jax and Shannon are back, and things are getting complicated!

Seeking Magic [3]

How far would you go to find an explanation? If you were still the only magician in the entire world, and no-one knew why?

You could try reading some ancient history books. That’s pretty harmless, at least to start off with. Or you could experiment with some brand new spells. That’s a bit more risky, but still nothing you can’t handle.

Or maybe you could go back in time two thousand years to question the one magician who might have the answer? That’s dangerous by anyone’s standards. You might get stuck there. You might die there. Or you might discover that you never become a magician at all…

Jax and Shannon return in another exciting adventure, where nothing is as it seems, and the past could be rewritten in a heartbeat.

Controlling Magic [4]

Far away, on a world of rock and water, live a brother and sister. They have a special talent. So special that, when applied correctly, it enables them to live forever. Androva hasn't visited this world since before the Treaty. It was so horrified by what it found there, it closed the portals and never went back.

Right now on Androva, everyone is trying to come up with the best Entertainment Spell for the Spring Festival. And there is also an important question to answer. Just how many magicians should Terra be allowed to have anyway? No-one realises that there is a deadly enemy lurking in the background. An enemy so devious that it can get your own force field to work against you.

Jax has been saying he wants to go to Imbera since the end of Seeking Magic. He doesn't realise that Imbera is actually coming for him. Be careful what you wish for...
