Great forces in the universe have stirred. A new time is coming. Three ancient riddles must be solved. When a once-powerful spirit, Xinder, turns up at Danny's bedside, Danny has no idea of what lies in store. And when Xinder offers Danny strength and power beyond his imagination in return for a simple favor, Danny agrees. But as the violent forces of nature begin to unravel, Danny and his sisters realize that saving the planet might just be up to them alone. As they set out on an extraordinary adventure will they get the help they need from their protector, their parents and, most of all, their friends? And Danny's simple favor may well end up as a nightmare none of them could have imagined. Praise for XINDER RISES: "Xinder Rises is an awesome fantasy debut by JJ Hawken. It's a tale of twists and turns, action-packed from beginning to end with superb teenage writing." "A fabulous gripping story, full of excitement and brilliant characters." "...might well end up as a classic of the young adult fantasy genre in the British tradition." BOOK 2 - XINDER'S CURSE - Release - July 2018
