Long ago, Iridia was isolated from the stream of time by magicians trying to preserve the golden age of magic forever. Unfortunately, the land's slow, comfortable decline is about to be forever interrupted by four teenagers, former playmates of Prince Edgar, whose paths are forever entertwined. Adam will become a soldier, and Francis will become a servant. But Sophie wants to be an archivist, a career not open to girls, and Michael is far too adventurous for a gardener. When Sophie borrows a magician's book, little does she realise it's the beginning of a great adventure that will change their lives -- and world -- forever!

The Race to Save a Stranded World,
This review is from: The Eleventh Hour (Hardcover)
This novel is a delight. It follows the exploits of four teenagers who were 'lucky' enough to be playmates of Prince Edgar and are now likely to be banished to the far reaches of the kingdom.They live in Iridia, which was isolated from the stream of time when a group of magicians got together and stopped the clock of Cloridan. The mages had hoped to preserve the golden age of magic forever, but instead the magic and people Iridia have gone into a slow, if comfortable decline. For our four young people, the future seems settled: Adam is reconciled to becoming a soldier and Francis a servant; but Sophie wants to be an archivist, a career not open to girls and Michael is too adventurous to be a gardener's boy. When Sophie borrows an old book from Morgendal the magician, little does she realise it's the beginning of a great adventure, which will change their lives forever. Are Sophie and the others acting according to their own will? Or does evil the influence of Khrohr and Ostrac reach beyond not only the grave, but over hundreds of years since their death? I really enjoyed this, it's packed with adventure and believable, sympathetic characters.
