Dodecahedron: The Story of the Second Stone is the third book in
the Ocellus Series and is set billions of years before the events
recorded in Ocellus: The Story of the Twelfth Stone. It is an epic
fantasy-adventure aimed at age 14 upwards. On the planet Lemtor,
following the 10,000-year religion wars, Tanun, a studious yet
strong-minded boy of 17, together with thousands of others, lives
in a vast protective dome. Society inside the dome is strictly
controlled by the Elders, who have deemed the outside still
poisonous. On his seventeenth birthday, Tanun finds a mislaid
access ring to the forbidden section of the library. In there he
finds and reads many of the banned books, but Enforcers catch him,
and as punishment, the Elders banish him from the sphere with just
a survival rucksack. While trekking through an ancient railway
tunnel, he discovers a glassy-black oval-shaped stone with a
dodecahedron carved on one face. Once through the tunnel, a
friendly alien shapeshifter (Cassièl) confronts Tanun, saying he
has searched for the Dodecahedron stone for trillions of years. He
explains evil shapeshifters (the KimMorii) stole and hid the stone
and will know it has been discovered. He warns Tanun the KimMorii
will soon invade and if they take the stone from him by force, he
will die. Cassièl also reveals there are, in fact, millions of
domes and the outside is no longer poisonous. Meanwhile, Tanun's
younger brother (Chyke) has escaped from the dome and caught up
with Tanun. While Cassièl is leading the boys to a larger and
friendlier dome, he reveals that Dodecahedron is the first to be
found of thirteen special stones that form The Master Circle and he
must retrieve all thirteen before the KimMorii re-establish The
Master circle under their control, subjugating all universes. Tanun
willingly offers Dodecahedron to Cassièl, but Cassièl discovers
he cannot take it and has to return to his universe to find out
why. Civil war between the dome alliances erupts, so after reaching
the next dome, Tanun and Chyke have to train as warriors, not only
to help protect the dome but also to keep Dodecahedron safe until
Cassièl can retrieve it. Tanun trains in explosives and Chyke
trains in espionage, but during their training, they both fall in
love with their military trainer (Joor-Jen) which, apart from
causing animosity between them, risks the safety of their new dome
and each other. Because of his spying, Enforcers from the old dome
kidnap Chyke and incarcerate him in a tiny cell. Although
explicitly forbidden, Tanun, along with Joor-Jen, sets off to
rescue him. Can Tanun and Joor-Jen successfully rescue Chyke? Can
Tanun keep Dodecahedron safe until Cassièl solves the problem of
retrieving it? Is it possible for Tanun and Chyke to resolve their
differences over Joor-Jen? And will the KimMorii invasion change
everything anyway? Dodecahedron is huge in scope and deep in
emotion and takes the reader into alternative universes, dramatic
battles, difficult relationships, and lasting friendships.

Although set many thousands of years before the events recorded in
Ocellus: The Story of the Twelfth Stone, Möbius: The Story of the
Eighth Stone is the second book in the Ocellus series. It is an
epic fantasy-adventure aimed at age 14 upwards. Amber, a feisty and
resourceful girl of 15, leads a simple life in her remote village
within the forest principality of the planet Splenem. While
climbing to the top of a tree as a dare, she finds a glassy-black,
oval-shaped stone with a Möbius ribbon engraved on one face.
Wondering who would hide such a stone high in a tree, she takes it.
After climbing down, she is confronted by Septies, a friendly alien
who says he has searched for the Möbius stone for trillions of
years. He tells her evil shapeshifters (the KimMorii) stole and hid
the stone and will know it has been discovered. He warns her the
KimMorii will soon invade and if they take the stone from her by
force, she will die. Although Amber is willing to give the stone to
Septies, he says he cannot yet take it back to his universe.
Instead, he tells Amber she must secretly take the stone to Eldern
Castle, the Splenem capital. Amber reluctantly sets off into a
terrifying world of dark forests, gruesome beasts, giant castles,
and flying horses. At Eldern Castle she becomes close friends with
other young messengers. Here they are taught close-combat fighting
and how to deploy telepathy in battle. She develops a close
relationship with Peol, the brother of a messenger, which causes
friction within the group. Will Amber’s wit, guile, and fighting
skills be enough to save her from the KimMorii? Can she and Peol
guard Möbius until Septies can retrieve it? Möbius is huge in
scope and deep in emotion and takes the reader into alternative
universes, dramatic battles, and doomed relationships.

Ocellus: The Story of the Twelfth Stone, is the first book in the
Ocellus Series, an epic fantasy-adventure for middle-grade to young
adult. Shy, grieving, 11-year-old Joshua discovers a glassy-black,
oval stone in a rock pool. Engraved on one face is a human eye, and
Joshua senses the eye staring at him, so he decides to keep it.
Later, he discovers there is much more to the mysterious artefact
than meets the eye. Soon after, an alien confronts him, saying he
has searched for the eye-stone (Ocellus) for trillions of years. He
reveals that Ocellus, together with twelve other similar stones, is
the source of all energy, matter and life, but trillions of years
ago, evil creatures stole the thirteen stones and hid them across
all the universes. Joshua naturally finds the alien's story too
fantastic, so to prove his story, and promising no harm will come
to him, the alien takes Joshua and his step-sister, Alessa, along
with the stone, to his own universe where he becomes close friends
with another alien his age. Together, they undertake a series of
ever-more hazardous missions to help retrieve the missing stones.
After one mission goes awry, the evil creatures attack and Joshua
finds himself trapped in the other universe, where he discovers
some information about Ocellus that calls into question everything
the alien has told him. Can Joshua establish the truth about the
thirteen stones? Can he help defeat the evil creatures, and bring
peace to the universes? And can he ever find his way back to Earth?
Immense in scope and deep in emotion, the story of Ocellus will
live in the memory.
