It’s 2070 and our post-apocalyptic world is different. Aliens secretly invaded with a lethal biological weapon: a terrifying virus that annihilated almost every living creature in its path. People still believe it was a natural virus, oblivious to aliens and the truth. Humanity’s survival is in the hands of the alliance, a team of humans and aliens who stand against the evil arch-enemy alien leader. Orphaned children are raised in army-style schools. But from this barren wasteland, a few shall rise…
Tammy and Mikie are half-human and half-alien siblings, with immense metaphysical powers and a crystal weapon. Their powers are extraordinary alone, but together they are unstoppable. Their father promises to return for them when they reach thirteen – combat age. But at twelve, these two are already too powerful to ignore.
Tammy has been raised in an orphan camp, under the thumb of a bitter woman who rules with an iron fist. Now she has been adopted and taken to a new kind of safari park. Here, the scales shift and the animals help her to unlock her gifts with animals and nature. Can Tammy rise above her animal instincts and maintain her humanity?
Mikie, a strong telepath, can control people’s minds and is a martial arts expert like his uncle. Forced to live a lonely, home-schooled life to avoid detection, he often gets into trouble and battles with the responsibility of his powers. Can Mikie overcome his inner conflict? Will his compulsion to protect put those closest to him in even more danger?
This adventure will take them across the world and maybe into the stars beyond. They must reunite their family and decide where their loyalties lie. The seekers are coming…
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
This book was unexpected surprise, given to me by a friend to read I was at first reluctant being the genre is one I don't read at all even though the book blurb was very good I was worried I wouldn't enjoy it. After chapter one I could see very well that the author not only had poured so much soil into this book and was well written she had lured me into actually enjoying it. I was still apprehensive as this was only the beginning and the sci-go aspect hadn't really become established. Slowly as I progressed through the book which followed me around the house, to work, school run and even along to a hen do I realised I actually not only enjoying this book I love this book and didn't want to put it down. I would highly recommend this book to everyone and can't wait now I've read the first book to start the second.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic and thrilling Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2022 This book pulls you in right from the beginning. A YA story full of magic and fantasy, The Children of Pisces is thrilling tale of two siblings separated at birth and destined for greatness. The author pulls in several different genres (fantasy, dystopian, sci-fi) quite deftly that make for an action packed story. I especially appreciated the deep world building that was evident throughout. It has shades of Harry Potter, the Alcatraz and Lemony Snicket series, and other YA stories with early teens as the heroes. Highly recommend and can't wait for the next one to come out!
