2 Books in 1!

Trapped on a hidden island, Indie dreams of adventure—until a mysterious boy arrives and reveals her true fate. Now, she must journey into a lost kingdom, uncover ancient magic, and fight for the family she thought she had lost.

Emerald Child and The Shaman’s Secret are the first 2 books in the Kalika Magic series by Karen Hughes, a spellbinding fantasy adventure that transports readers aged 9+ into a world brimming with magic, mystery, and courage.

Emerald Child:

Indie has spent her entire life secluded on a secret island with her aunts, awaiting the arrival of the enigmatic Grandma Helki. But when Grandma Helki can’t come, she sends Kai—a boy destined to lead Indie on an extraordinary quest. Together, they embark on a journey to reclaim a stolen kingdom, uncover a legendary sword, and reunite Indie with the family she believed was lost forever.

The Shaman’s Secret:

Kai and Indie embark on a perilous journey beyond the familiar confines of the Kalika Forest to rescue the missing king. As the malevolent Emperor of Moto amasses his formidable army in the south, and the Dasa Warriors brace for impending conflict, the children seek out a mysterious shaman believed to hold the key to their quest. Venturing into the snowy mountains, where the magic differs profoundly from that of the forest, they confront challenges that test their courage and resolve. To succeed, Kai and Indie must undertake a treacherous passage into the spirit realm to discover their power animals. But with time slipping away, they must decide: can they trust the shaman, and will they uncover the mountain’s secret before it’s too late?
