Breathe. Listen. Surrender.
Twelve-year-old Zya Nicole Jenkins wishes for an adventure on the last night of summer. But, when she and her best friend Elijah find a glowing door in the woods, the youngsters get much more than they bargained for, and find themselves swept away on a quest of epic proportions. Cast into the midst of a centuries-long intergalactic conflict, the newly minted heroes will have to overcome their greatest fear, learn to trust a mysterious ally and master their new magic timepieces to save the day and free humanity from the Evil Archons.
A 2025 Literary Global Children's Book Award winner and finalist for the Children's Book International Award for Fantasy, Guardians of the Cosmic Clocks: The Emerald Tablets is packed to the brim with pharaohs and zombies, twists and turns, shape-shifters and a fearsome Lizard King. The Emerald Tablets follows two precocious young people as they break the mold, transcend expectations and grow to accept their destiny. A fast-paced story about freedom, responsibility and friendship that can't be broken, the narrative reads more like a film than a novel. With the fate of humanity on the line and new surprises around every corner, you'll be on the edge of your seat until the final bell.
If you're a fan of Ancient Egypt, time travel, aliens or the cosmic battle between good and evil, this story is just for you. The first of a seven-book series, The Emerald Tablets aspires to be a foundational narrative for anyone with big dreams.
For Parents of Young Children: The plot places our protagonists in uncertain situations with selfish, creepy and power-hungry adversaries, causing them to act decisively and demonstrating that any obstacle can be surmounted with patience, team-work and imagination. The narrative addresses themes of liberation, self-confidence and bodily autonomy, while taking on difficult topics such as parental abandonment, bullying, family trauma, slavery and death in ways young adults can understand and relate to.
