It is time to move on. You will never forget her, but you must live your life.

Floyd has been hearing this a lot lately after losing his wife Betty a few years back. So much around their house reminds him of her – from the furniture to the garden, to the beautiful dolls room she created where dolls and other toys lounge around in wait, for another adventure.

Realizing he needs help around the house, Floyd puts an advert out and hires the lovely Mabel. This sends Irene, a neighbor of Floyd’s, into a tizzy, as she has had her eye on Floyd for a while.

With Irene scheming to worm her way deeper into Floyd’s life by any means imaginable, she will soon come to realize that Floyd has protectors that no one knows about. Betty managed to bring the dolls and toys to life many years ago, and together with Jane and Jack, Mabel’s great-niece and -nephew, they work together to defeat the villainous Irene.

With love on the line, can they defeat the house sitter’s nemesis?

One extraordinary adventure.

Fifteen-year-old Akita has never been popular nor had many friends. She has never tasted adventure outside of her dreams. She has never even left the mythical town of Marla. All she has ever known is a simple life in a peaceful village with her family and her best friend. That is until her father is murdered on the orders of a jealous prince.

When handed a valuable family heirloom, Akita learns of a secret family prophecy that forces her to flee her home. Filled with insecurities, she sets off on a journey through the twelve Zodiac towns of Adastra to complete a quest started by her ancestors, meeting and making unexpected friends and hidden foes along the way. Together with her lively companion, Jericho, she learns of a destiny awaiting her, far greater than she has ever dreamed… if she survives to see it first.

In a world filled with magic, dragons, and quirky villagers, can Akita overcome her fears and take her place as the rightful Queen? Or will her enemies’ attacks prove to be too much…
