When twins Kyle and Sophie arrive at the school, there is something clearly different about them. But despite Sophie's antagonism, they are befriended by Josh, Charlie (Charlotte) and the youngest, Henry aged nine. Kyle and Sophie are more than just different; they are the children of the Galactic Emperor and their mission is to seek out the mysterious, sentient crystal, the Star of the Yshan Kings which has guided the Empire for 5,000 years. It was stolen from the Empire Capitol twelve years ago together with the Emperor's son who was just a toddler at the time and signs have been detected of the Star on Earth. Josh, Charlie and Henry are drawn into the hunt and must face incredible dangers and draw on all their courage and intelligence before the final discovery of a truth that is far beyond what anybody's imagination could have anticipated

Michael Davies began writing fiction as an antidote to long hours spent on international flights and hotels around the world. His first book, a psychological thriller, "Dreamkill" was published in the USA in 1997 and he now has more than twenty books published. Apart from the thrillers and a major sci-fi work, "The Nightmares of God," he spends much time working on projects with school students to develop adventure and sci-fi novels and these have been well received by schools and educational bodies. Michael also teaches the week-long course in writing the novel at the prestigious "Camp Creative" in Bellingen, NSW, Australia. Before taking up the writing game full time, Michael was an IT executive and business consultant, living and working in the UK, Canada, USA, Australia and South East Asia. He now lives on a 100 acre property on the mid-north coast of NSW, Australia.
