Ok you asked for it Alex. The book is the first in a series of 3-4 books. The working title is; The secret of the light and the fated four!
Now this should be fun trying to explain quickly but I'll give it a go so bare with me lol.
In the distant future, mankind has ravaged the earth so completely that humanity is doomed. In a last ditch effort to save our race a number of scientists backed by A huge multinational business conglomerate that now controls everything, the scientists get together and use an extremely rare element to create the Crystal of life. This crystal through the power of light gives the power to control everything. Space, time the elements, matter itself etc.
The lead scientist panics seeing his invention for what it could do if left in the hands of the corrupt. So he steals the crystal, goes back in time to split it up into the 12 pieces and hide it.
Now in this time; their are 2 children being brought up by extremely odd and strict parents, they are driven constantly to become geniuses by their parent who are both teachers. These kids are twins a boy and a girl. Now because of the twin relationship these two already have some strange small abilities. Then another family moves to the area, this family has another set of twins around the same age. A friendship is struck and the adventure begins.
From this point without going into too much detail; The 2 sets of twins become friends, the first set share there secrets with the other set. How to move things or influence stuff with their minds etc. At the same time they are experiencing weird haunting dreams.
These dreams finally lead to the first set venturing out one night to find the source of a strange sound. This leads them to the (Hanbury/Fauld Crater) a real place where I grew up. With one of the largest man made explosions of all time happened. Hence the crater! It used to be a huge gypsum mine (crystal). Any way this later leads to all four adventuring down in the craters depths.
From that point they are transported on a magical journey.
They find themselves in the frequencies; basically alternate dimensions (string theory). Here they begin to find the truth of there path.
As the scientist who ran and hid the crystal of life, did so across these these frequencies. He also, as a back up plan for human kind had gone through our history collecting ancient peoples and civilizations that respected mother earth. He placed them in the frequencies so that when humanity had been wiped out. they could return and start again.
These races are the Aztecs, Mayans etc and many many more. He split the crystal into its parts and gave one part to each race in the frequencies.
Over 100s of years (time being relative) these races left in the frequencies evolved using the teachings of the scientist who transported them there. Some became fed up with waiting to reclaim mother earth, so a number of races came together and hatched a plan to speed our demise in our time along. They started to use parts of the crystal to attack us here. Manipulating mother natures powers to cause earthquakes/natural disasters etc.
Our hero's path leads them through all the frequencies amongst these ancient races of people. They are apparently the foretold ones, supposed to bring back the balance to the frequencies and safe humanity.
Anyway from here they go on a dangerous journey trying to unite the peoples of the frequencies once more. Not knowing what side to trust as there is now a civil war going on with one side bent on our demise, one still believing in the teachings of the scientist who'd left scriptures telling of all of this.
They get deceived, split up into pairs, both believing they are fighting for the good side. Then its a race to gain the next part of the crystal before the others.
The rest gets real complicated to be honest but includes; Mind over matter, using 100% of our brain, this is something that we simply forgot how to do, as when the scientist took these ancient peoples away he also took what we would now call magic. Yet really it was just the ability to use all of our brains power rather than the 10% we do now.
They go to wondrous spots (within the Frequencies) from around the world and points in history. Lay lines, Pyramids, Crystalline caverns like there are in south America. It ties in with the Nazca lines and many more weird things around the globe, The natural forces of mother nature become abilities to them along the journey. There is also a love story through the three to four books and much much more.
But yeah kind of a journey of discovery?adventure and one that ties in with lots of weird theories, but with an overall green message about the way we treat mother nature!
I might add it ain't no young kiddy book as I'm going quite dark at times. Sorry if that doesn't make much sense but trying to fit it all in is quite hard to say the least.
If I can get book 1 finished soon I can start writing another novel I've got planned. This is a blatant adult horror, as my missus loves scary stuff, so I have that story in my head at mo too!?!? Plus another trilogy after that planned!
