Amber Janusson: Protector of The Magic Lands

Amber thinks she is no different from any other fifteen-year-old girl in her world. Apart from being the latest in a long line of Witches and Wizards and belonging to a family who would rather she didn't exist, there is nothing outstanding about her. But Amber hides a secret that even she doesn't know. Together with her friends Sean, Heather and Eve, and with guidance from the Head of The High Council, Ambrose Withrington, Amber sets out to discover, amongst other things, just who the evil Silas Morrigan is, why he is so interested in her, why her family members are feared and hated so much, and that you can never be truly sure of who you are or where your destiny lies.
