alternate cover edition can be found here Join Milo and Emma Banks, twin siblings from a small American town, as they discover an electrifying family secret: they are not human at all but demigods descended from a group of long-vanished deities who ruled over another world. That realm - called Astros, Land of the Gods - is about to become their exciting new home. But a darkness straight out of a child's nightmare is settling over the land. Trapped in this increasingly chaotic realm without parents, they will have to band together with a ragtag group of orphans who each have their own parts to play in a global war that has already begun to pit light and dark magic against each other. Their only salvation is Theus Academy, a highly selective school of magic where learning the secrets of long-vanished gods will be the only way to stop one of them - the most evil god of all - from rising to destroy all humans and demigods alike.

alternate cover edition [here](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/36284128.here "here") FERAL is a single epic-sized novel originally split into two books, and now available as one complete version, in both eBook and Paperback formats. AT THEUS ACADEMY, a military school specializing in battle magic, roguery, mecha piloting and much more, demigod siblings Milo and Emma Banks will face their greatest challenges yet: a silent, invisible attack that cripples one of Milo's senses; a political campaign based on deadly lies; and a dangerous kidnapper who will change their group of friends forever. ACROSS THE OCEAN, in her homeland of Valestaryn, Calista reunites with an old mentor who recruits her into the Forge. He trains her for an upcoming battle to destroy the Emperor's latest superweapon. But a single mistake will cost her the life of the person she loves most in the world. From then on, Calista will fight two battles: one against the man responsible for her loss, and the other against the hatred that threatens to twist the soldier she has become into someone much darker. IN THE MOUNTAINS JUST NORTH of Theus, Oscar will find himself in a perilous situation involving a flesh-hungry group of one-eyed beasts. His only hope will be a magical device given to him by the magician Emmanuel, but even its amazing power to reveal the secrets of the world won't be enough. Oscar will have to overcome his greatest weakness and become a "Speaker" - a type of Feral diplomat that has only existed in legends and myths. TOGETHER, THE ORPHANS WILL CHANGE the fate of Astros - for better or for worse. While the group struggles just to survive long enough to pass their exams, Emma Banks will face a much more disturbing challenge. Her Sight is growing stronger, and it's about to reveal the moment she and her friends have feared since the beginning - the rebirth of a god intent on ravaging the world and destroying everyone in it.

BLIND IN ONE EYE, Milo Banks must get to the bottom of a mystery: who is using magic to get inside his head, and why are they intent on destroying him from the inside out? And will an altercation with bullies cause him to be kicked out of Theus Academy? HELD CAPTIVE BY CYCLOPEAN MONSTERS, Oscar must use his "animal empathy" ability to escape. But should he try to communicate with this ancient order of monsters and save a person he cares about instead? What will be his role in a war brewing across the ocean? A MYSTERIOUS KIDNAPPER haunts Theus, taking innocent people and causing chaos. When one of the orphans vanishes, can Milo, Emma, and the others unite in time to save their friend? THESE QUESTIONS AND MORE will be answered in the third installment of Luminether, in which an epic battle will forever change the face of Astros, plunging the orphans into a whole new world of danger. Cross dimensions into the techno-magical world of Luminether.
