    In the second book of the Daughters of Light series, the demon-hunted Seers are in a race against time to return a stolen ring. Twin sisters Jade and Jasmine are finally together after a five-year separation, but there's no time to enjoy the reunion. As Seers, the sisters are being hunted by demons spilling through the rift, and the city is on high alert against terrorism threats. The Protectors at Beaconsfield have gathered as many Seers as possible, as the countries that haven't been destroyed by climate change are starting to close their borders to refugees. On top of it all, Jasmine discovers that someone has stolen a ring with the power to control the demons, and the Final Battle between the Daughters of Light and the forces of darkness is approaching more quickly than anyone predicted.

    In a future where Earth has collapsed under pollution, drought, and political decay, the iron-fisted Imperial Regime controls the last habitable zones with fear and military power. Beyond their borders lie wastelands, scattered survivors, and whispers of a hidden sanctuary known only as Paradise - a place that may hold the last hope for humanity. Across this fractured world, a resistance movement grows. Among them is Gayatri, a veteran rebel leader determined to protect the last sparks of freedom, and Judy, a fierce young fighter who has known nothing but struggle. When a skilled bounty hunter named Mitra is captured during a rebel operation, the balance shifts. His presence triggers old memories, buried connections, and a dangerous chain of events that neither side could have predicted. Forced into the heart of the conflict, Mitra must confront truths about the world - and himself - that challenge everything he has ever believed. As the rebels launch a daring mission toward the fortified Ghost City, both sides prepare for a confrontation that could expose long-buried secrets and reshape the future of the wasteland. The Paradise Conflict blends explosive action, layered character drama, and deep emotional tension into a post-apocalyptic saga about hope, betrayal, and the cost of survival. The journey toward Paradise has only just begun.

    Shortlisted for a national award, and now a published book on Amazon! This Wattpad version is now a free preview of a book described as "Mad Max crossed with the Magic School Bus" ... read on to find out more! ***** If it hadn't been for the man in white body paint appearing out of the darkness, my Bus would now be a broken steel carcass in a smoking hole. Someone set a landmine in ambush for the Library vehicle, a mobile repository of information saved from before the War. A beacon of knowledge in the ashes of civilisation, and my sole responsibility. Someone tried to take it from me. To stop the flow of free information. To steal from the people scratching out a living on the dusty frontier, just one cloudship delivery away from desiccation. Now, other Keepers are missing. And not just Keepers. People have been disappearing from camps and settlements scattered across the outback. Why didn't we know about it? The Library is supposed to know everything. That's its whole purpose, to save and share knowledge. Isn't it? I have to warn New Pearth. After all, this is what I was trained for. Though the Library could never have predicted a plot this savage, or this well-organised.But first, with only a psychotic ex-slave and a digital ghost to help, I have to survive the trip... ***** The Knowledge Keeper is perfect for fans of speculative fiction who are looking for a fresh, more optimistic and less dystopian take on a post World War Three and climate change action thriller. Featuring a diverse cast of characters, from cranky airship pilots, snarky AIs, and badass teenage warrior librarians to a snakeskin-tattooed soldier called Gladys, it's been described as "Mad Max meets The Magic School Bus" -- you've never read anything like this before! Contains medium violence, mild language and drug references. Suitable for ages 13 and older.

    Kwame drew the bucket up that day and watched the last clear water snag on the rim-brown, thin, barely life. The village that taught him to read storms and soil is now a skeleton of memory; his daughter coughs in the corner; a name-Jabari-hangs over the horizon like a threat. With a fraying rope and a stubborn oath to keep his family alive, Kwame leads his wife and child into the broken hills, where salt flats lie like bones and salvage gangs prey on the desperate. They find a cave with a drip, and a forgotten people building power from wreckage. Hope grows-then war comes. Jagged politics and lethal patrols force Kwame into a brutal choice: survive alone in the dark, or risk everything to strike the warlord who hoards water. What follows is a story of sabotage, siegecraft, and the heavy calculus of fatherhood in a thirsty world.
