The Q-16 Series
Q-16 and the Eye to All Worlds
Headstrong, tomboyish Annetta Severio and her cynical, sharp-tongued friend Jason Kinsman are two teenagers from Toronto, making the most of their mundane existence.
Their world is forever changed when they discover that their fathers were once the protectors of a castle called The Eye to All Worlds located where the fabric of the universe is weakest, creating gateways to other worlds, hidden within the bowels of an underwater base known only as Q-16.
Learning of the threat of a warlord bent on conquering the multiverse, Annetta and Jason race to reassemble Annetta’s grandfather’s army, known as the Four Forces before it is too late.
Q-16 and the Lord of the Unfinished Tower
“The lord of the tower has risen, and he is angry”
A year has passed since the events of the battle against Mislantus. Now, Annetta, Jason and their companions prepare for the end of their final year in high school. Dreaming of the future, they do the best they can to balance their time as the young commanders of the Four Forces and as teenagers.
Things are thrown off course, however, with the arrival of Annetta’s great-uncle and his proclamations which leave the members of Q-16 questioning their lives. Elsewhere, on Terralim, the home of the Water Elves, an evil amasses on the horizon, threatening to burn all in its path, forcing Puc Thanestorm away.
On their own and without the aid of their mentor, Annetta and Jason must navigate through a sea of decisions as they strive to come to terms with who they are meant to be.
Q-16 and the Fury of Korangar
“In this the seed of chaos thrives...”
The dust from the battle against Razmus has only begun to settle, and on Gaia, Annetta Severio tries to come to grips with her new status amongst its citizens, as well as the losses she has suffered along the way. There is no time for the healing of wounds, however, when a mysterious illness takes hold of the Prince of Gaia, forcing her to return to Earth in search of answers.
Reunited with her best friend Jason Kinsman, as well as the other inhabitants of Q-16 , her goal is further complicated when an old nemesis of the Four Forces threatens one of the allied powers.
Elsewhere an evil stirs, one which vows to end not only Earth, but the existence of all life. Its awakening will bring about a chain of events that will change the lives of Annetta and her friends forever.
