The Book

Alex Masterson isn’t special, he’s a bit tall for a boy on the brink of becoming a teenager, but he isn’t special. His parents and his school certainly don’t think he’s exceptional.

The only one to love him is Axis, his dog.

His mundane and repetitive existence is broken only by his vivid dreams where he explores a world of immense natural beauty but he senses all is not well with this dreamscape.

Eliza Andersen is a girl with an eerily similar background, and when they meet, both their worlds are turned inside out.

Their origins are brought into the light, their destinies intertwined, and their heritage uncovered.

Their voyage of discovery tests them, bends them, threatens to smash them apart. Can they fulfil their destinies, or will it prove too much?

Seek your origins, embrace the unknown.

My motivation to write this story comes from my love of all things Sci-fi and Fantasy. I have always been a bit of a wordsmith as well as having an innate ability to tell a story, so by marrying these facets together, The Kindred Chronicles was born.

My influences are there to be seen, but I feel that I have created a unique and enthralling story with a diverse cast of characters.  My hope is that it will transcend demographics and appeal to young and old alike.

I hope that you enjoying reading Origins Unknown as much as I enjoyed writing it.
