Where monsters are real and magic hides in plain sight.
Set alongside everyday school life, The Lost Defenders is a middle grade novel for kids 8-12 that follows a group of unlikely heroes as they uncover a hidden world, face impossible choices, and learn that being different might just be their greatest power.
Jace Tanner has always been different – he can see monsters no one else can. As if fitting in at school wasn’t hard enough! All he wants is to be normal … and maybe make it through his final year of primary school without getting expelled!
But when you can see monsters, trouble follows you everywhere – and things are about to get worse. A lot worse.
With a prophecy threatening to tear down the Veil that separates Earth from the Monster Realm, Jace must work together with the most unlikely allies as they face their fears and unlock their forgotten inheritance in time to save the world.
A heart-pounding adventure where bravery, friendship and danger collide – and the Lost Defenders are found.
