George Carroll and the Fifth Element (The Navigators Codex)

The Navigators Codex begins with a single question: Is one life worth more than the world?

Twelve-year-old George Carroll never asked to be a hero. He just wants to go back to the life he had before his father vanished, before his mother was kidnapped by the ruthless Darwinian League, obsessed with corrupting human history. Now, George is the only one who might be able to stop them.

But rescuing his mother means plunging into a war waged across centuries, where every choice reshapes the future. After nearly losing his best friend, George is forced to trust the mysterious Navigators, guardians of time with secrets of their own.

As George learns to navigate the shifting tides of time, truth, and betrayal, he discovers that saving one life might cost him everything: his family, his future, and the fragile balance of the world itself.

George Carroll and the Fifth Element is the electrifying first instalment in The Navigators Codex: a time-bending adventure full of heart, danger, and the impossible choices that define who we become.
