There are knights and dragons, kingdoms and creatures of magic just a step away through Gwrych Castle’s gates. Kai thinks he’s just going on holiday to North Wales, same as every year, but the truth about his family history, about how his mother died and where he’s from, has been kept from him. Now that secret will throw him into a different world, a version of Wales where his granddad was the last true king and an evil knight rules on a throne meant for Kai’s father.From the moment Kai and his sister, Abigail, are pulled through the portal at Gwrych Castle, their lives are in danger. The false king will kill them without a second thought, the creatures of the forest are hunting for them and only new friends and mysterious allies will help them survive, stand up for the land and claim a destiny prophesied for generations. For Kai Conway is the 7th Knight, destined to free the land from tyranny and dark magic ... if he can survive long enough to reach his twelfth birthday.

A book designed to help children learn about their autism diagnosis and diversity. It can be an overwhelming time for parents and carers to know when to start to explain to their child, about their autism diagnosis. During this time parents, carers and therapists look for resources to find the best way to deliver such love and reassurance. At the same time, this can be a huge relief for the child to understand that they are truly wonderful as they are, and do not need to conform or adapt to understand things that do not suit their needs. This book is a communicational gateway between the child and the parents/caregivers. It helps to open up the subject in a gentle and nurturing way, to later revisit when the child is ready and build upon their experiences with you thereafter.

Despite beating Edward on the lists, he's not doing so well as a new knight. Beaten by powerful kraiks in the dark forests on his first outing, Kai must forge new alliances, face new and powerful foes and travel the length and breadth of Briton to find the legendary Knight Marshal before the Crown of Kings goes dark and all the world with it.

Everyday for seventeen years she's controlled my life. I was never allowed to do as I please or change anything. Every time we argue, the silence is broken by our screams towards each other. Each day I see her, I wonder why she does this to me. How could someone do these things to their own child? I often wonder if my life is even worth living. But, I know that I can't let her win this battle. She won't do this to me anymore. I need to make sure that she will NEVER do the things she does to me to another person. And now, now that I am given the opportunity to change my future, I am 100% sure of what to do. This is my life. She just doesn't know it yet.
