Mirror, Mirror
When twin brothers Jett and Adam, and their best friend Mavis, go for a research trip to Costa Rica, they never thought they would uncover relics from a land that lays hidden within the hollows of a supernatural chasm. Forbidden explorations land the trio in peril and when Jett’s curiosity almost kills him, a mysterious and deadly warrior named Blaze is his unlikely saviour. Through her, Jett, Adam, and Mavis are exposed to the hidden city of Myra, whose inhabitants possess abilities that go beyond their comprehension. Despite the residents’ formidable gifts, no power comes without its price, and the trio witnesses the struggle of the curse and blessing that is bestowed upon the people of the shining city. When Mavis is kidnapped, Jett must choose between betraying his saviour and losing his best friend forever. As Blaze’s dark past and tainted blood are revealed to him, Jett struggles to decide whether to trust or betray his rescuer. Will Jett leave with Mavis by his side again? Or will his own power be his destruction? As they race against the clock, Jett will realize that is that no one is always the hero, and no one is always the villain.

Package to India
If you've ever been on a coach tour anywhere in the world, visited India or intend doing so, read this! You'll be fascinated to join Stella and her tour group as they're beguiled and polarised by a charismatic guide, who wizard-like, tantalises them with his enthralling anecdotes. The crescendos of his tales are counterpointed by tensions and conflicts among the tourists; the interplay of their relationships develops as they bowl along the roads of India in their air-conditioned coach. Stella, the wry narrator, is unwillingly fascinated; others in the group find love or loss.
