The last child born of a people dating back before the beginning of time, coveted by some, hunted by others - this is the story of young Gretel. Beyond beauty and imagination we follow the lives of young Gretel and her brother Hans, as her only daughter relives their past through a forgotten diary. 

A story of the love and connection between brother and sister, they have only each other within a world filled with deceit and those who wish to invoke revenge for their people’s history…, and those who want to discover the secrets of the powers they possess. 

Book One begins with the story of Gretel, the last child born of a people who walked the deserts of the earth before the beginning of time, as she sets off in search of those still alive and in hiding for her own survival and for the very survival of the Children of The Sun.

"Whatever your plan is, we did what you asked. Now you have to keep your promise and find our father." "Of course, to reunite your family so you can live happily ever after... You were left alone in the woods. You deserve better than a father who'd abandon you." ~~ "You and your brother have impressed me. You aren't the first boy or girl that I've sent into that sticky, sweet house... But you are the first to emerge. And as a reward, I've decided to invite the two of you to live with me, here." "You mean, that we get to live in a castle?" "Yes! You would have your own rooms of course, personal carriages, valets, too. All of your dreams could come true..." "Yes!" "No!" ~~ "Hansel please, listen to reason! She is called the Evil Queen for a reason!" "She can't be so bad if she has offered us a home, Gretel." "But she's the reason our father is gone!" ~~ "You're not my sister anymore... You betrayed me, and I'm royalty now. Get out of my sight!" "It is you who has betrayed me Hansel... and I will never forgive you for this." ~~ We all know the story of Hansel and Gretel: how the two kids were sent into the witch's candy cabin by their stepparents and escaped by tricking the witch into her own oven.
