A captivating modern-day fantasy filled with intrigue, suspense, mythology, magical objects, and special abilities, Jo Visuri’s adventurous tale will sweep you away to mystical Auor Island—where nothing is quite as it seems!
A remote island. Old secrets. And a cascade of unintended consequences.
Long ago, four clans from earth’s four corners were given magical abilities to help save humanity from oblivion. For generations, their descendants have lived in hidden communities and occasionally intermingled with regular humans—leading to whispers of unforeseen consequences.
Now, in the present-day and for unknown purposes, one Clan quietly and desperately
seeks the rumored, undiscovered offspring.
Meanwhile, in the heart of a northern archipelago, Elin Bodil leads a perfectly ordinary, happy life on Auor Island with her family. When, through accident and circumstance, she meets both a motorcycle-driving stranger and the new mysterious boy next door, Elin's world is turned upside down.
As Elin is drawn into a brewing supernatural conflict—with her two unusual
acquaintances on opposite sides, she must decipher who to trust while
unearthing her island's secrets and those buried deep within herself. But when
the search for answers triggers the Clan’s sinister schemes, Elin and her
companions will have to confront far bigger and deadlier secrets than they ever
imagined. And they’ll need much more than themselves to survive!
Welcome to Auor Island…and the legend and magic within its ruins!
Reviews:
"Jo Visuri does an outstanding
job of juxtaposing fantasy and real-world concerns as the tension and action
escalate [in The Undiscovered Descendants]...readers who want a
story about new and evolving relationships, changing life purposes and
perspectives, and threats to family and community connections will find The
Undiscovered Descendants an excellent, satisfying story...highly
recommended for teen fantasy readers who look for more than action and
adventure in their stories." — D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, MIDWEST
BOOK REVIEW Highly Recommended
"Secrets emerge as two young men try to find out if their classmate Elin
is secretly a Dormant Descendant. Suspenseful and intriguing, The
Undiscovered Descendants will have its readers halfway out of their
seats. Brilliant characters, ancient Clans, special abilities, magic objects,
and teenage relationships all wrapped into a fantastic adventure." — MANHATTAN
BOOK REVIEW
"The Undiscovered Descendants is told from three different
perspectives, and I love the seamless way that Elin's, Aeden's, and Tristan's
tense stories weave together. The characters are fun and easy to both love and
hate. Jo Visuri has introduced a unique world that combines modern teenagers
and Scandinavian mythology in a delightfully refreshing way with a steady,
action-fueled pace that makes it impossible to put down." — Amy,
READERS' FAVORITE ★★★★★
"I loved every bit of the story right to the very last page. The
descriptions of the scenes are so vivid that they seem like a 3D projection.
Additionally, the thoughtfully constructed story covers an interesting range of
themes: jealousy, ambition, infatuation, secret societies, friendship, family,
and more." — Foluso, READERS' FAVORITE ★★★★★
FAVOURITE BOOKS
I tend to read fairly broadly in terms of genre, but one of my favorites is young adult fantasy. Both historical and contemporary fantasies with a hidden world component are my jam, which is why, I suppose, The Undiscovered Descendants is a blending of those elements. If I had to pick my top 5 books, the list would be as follows in no particular order: The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis, Ruby Red by Kerstin Gier, The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, and, of course, the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
