Casper Ward

A thrilling middle-grade fantasy adventure about friendship, destiny, and the battle between light and darkness.

Twelve-year-old Casper Ward is an ordinary boy living in a quiet English village. At least, that's what he believes.

Everything changes during a school trip to an ancient yew woodland when Casper discovers a mysterious golden ring. The moment he slips it onto his finger, he is transported in a vision to a hidden valley where seven enigmatic figures entrust him with a sacred duty: To Protect the Light.

The Light is his best friend, Tudor Davies.

Tudor has always been different. Adopted at the age of six, with no memory of his past and no clue who his real family are, he lives a seemingly normal life. But strange forces have been watching him for years, and as Casper's visions grow stronger, he begins to realise that Tudor's true identity is tied to secrets far older and more dangerous than either of them can imagine.

Meanwhile, billionaire inventor Aiden Foley unveils a revolutionary new technology capable of transforming reality itself. Hidden behind its dazzling promise lies a dark purpose, one that threatens to drain Tudor's mysterious power and unleash forces from a realm of shadow.

As sinister enemies close in and ancient powers awaken, Casper must embrace abilities he never knew he possessed. With time running out, he faces an impossible choice: remain an ordinary boy or become the Guardian he was destined to be.

Set against the backdrop of a magical Christmas season, A Guardian of Light is the first book in an epic fantasy series filled with mystery, adventure, friendship, and the timeless struggle between light and darkness.
