Wanderer of Worlds Series

Synjan and Daeson meet by chance in the back alley of the Queen. Their short discussion reveals that they have been purposefully kept apart but to what end, neither of them know. Daeson spends the day at the Queen seeking information about Synjan while she infiltrates the Authority base at its most chaotic--minutes after a terrorist attack. They both make shocking discoveries that lead to the death of friends and Daeson has to reveal his Healer ability in order to save a stranger. Once Hawke turns thirteen, he is considered mature enough to return to his home world on the proviso that he keeps the secret of other worlds. His sponsor, Cayden, acts as his guide and travelling companion and Hawke discovers that going back home isn't what he expected. As his fourteenth birthday looms, Hawke is under increasing pressure to make a decision that will impact the rest of his life. He finds a way to exact revenge on those who've made his life difficult at Willets Academy, makes a connection with one of Cayden's contacts and reaches out to Ellis. When the Hunter arrives to join the chase, he finds his prey has already been captured but he learns something about the imprisoned Wanderer nobody expected. On return from his mission he takes the time to revisit the woman who's haunted him for years... and realises he has a lot to say to her. Written by Linda Conlon and Delia Strange

As the race to secure Synjan and Daeson continues, Ellis and Fyfe are waylaid by a psychotic despot and Hawke awakens in a prison cell. Drugged and interrogated, Hawke’s only defence is the Wanderer talent he despises. His mission to reach Synjan is at stake... and so is his life. Arriving in Femme, Daeson and Synjan find themselves at the mercy of an advanced civilisation that reveres Healers and oppresses men. Greeted by Intuits who can pluck secrets from their minds, their whirlwind journey through a technologically advanced world will test their resolve, their resources and their friendship.

What if, instead of one world, there were many? What if you could effortlessly travel between worlds? What if visiting other worlds meant someone would be sent to kill you? If there was nothing but misery in your world... would you risk leaving? Daeson of Cloverlea has the ability to know when people are lying. Forced out of his home and lured out of his world, Daeson is trapped in a city where he doesn’t understand the language and everyone is hostile. Hawke Aron of Donovan Court is kidnapped by a rogue group of Wanderers. While on the move, he discovers that he has Wanderer blood too. By the time he learns to control his power, he is at the mercy of a more ruthless enemy. Synjan Walker is a fixer. She is strong-minded, capable and loyal to a fault. If the Authorities ever arrest her for her crimes, she wouldn’t go to prison but to a laboratory. She is a Wanderer Navigator and the Authorities would love to get their hands on her blood. The Authorities are innovators, technological giants and tireless explorers. Their manufactured portal allows them to access the resources of every world. They enforce a strict regimen for Interworld travel that they protect at all costs. Written by Linda Conlon and Delia Strange

Daeson and Synjan leave the world of Trent and land in J’Bdyamn, a tropical paradise. Removed from modern comforts, they are discovered by the Mukake tribe and welcomed into an imposing cliffside village. Daeson’s fear of heights and Synjan’s inability to communicate using the melodious native language have them struggling to adapt... and the Portal is an impossible distance away. Hawke arrives the next world over, on Femme. He is paired with a Wanderer Clairvoyant whose messages make no sense – especially when she starts predicting Hawke’s own future. Unnerved and isolated in a world that would prefer to enslave him rather than help him, Hawke is forced to wait for Synjan and Daeson to arrive. Unaware of the storm brewing in their wake, Daeson and Synjan are forced to confront their pasts, accept their differences and decide their futures before the war they’ve inadvertently stepped into erupts around them.

Heroes sacrifice themselves. Villains sacrifice others. Can one man live to be both? Daeson awakens in a mangled car wreck with a dying woman. Forced to deal with the consequences of Synjan’s actions, Daeson’s resentment grows and their relationship fractures. No longer supported by her companion and friend, Synjan invites a dangerous foe to join them—the Hunter himself. When Hawke catches up, he struggles with risking everything to do what’s right or continuing to do what’s right for him.
