The Desert Wall

The Desert Wall by Raf Morgan

Malenie found the perfect place to hide from the world.
 
No one else sees the endless Wall that stretches across the desert, and when Melanie is in the shadow of its magic, she becomes invisible. Bullies can’t torment her. Her ex-best friend can’t ignore her. And her beloved Papa doesn’t worry about the secret that puts her life in danger…
 
When a stranger comes to town and abducts Papa, Malenie is thrust into a dangerous quest to save him. She learns that the Wall holds secrets that will bring her in touch with her ancestral magic, bind her to new friends and old enemies, and force her to confront a deadly villain. To save Papa, she will have to learn to use the mysterious magic that is inscribed on her very skin.

The Desert Wall is the first book in a new series about friendship, families and magic.

The Red Fortress

The Red Fortress

In the impregnable red fortress, the mysterious leader of the slavers waits, accumulating power.

Slavers have been taking children from across the divided world for longer than Nes can remember. While she’s rescued her sibs with the help of her friends Malenie and Paza, her cousins and her ma are still missing and most everyone has given up hope.

But Nes has the shaper’s sense. With it, a lock of hair will lead her to its owner and a pebble can become a truth stone. 

Friends may not let friends hunt slavers alone, but if Nes doesn’t succeed, she will lose not just her family but Malenie and Paza too.

Magic—danger—and the thrill of the chase!

Experience the rush of racing across rooftops with thieves—or the desperation of fleeing an assassin who knows you a little too well.
