Sixteen-year-old William believes the world is governed by logic, evidence, and immutable rules. A gifted problem-solver with a scientist’s mind, he trusts data over intuition and reason over belief. Everything has an explanation-until he ventures into England’s New Forest with his environmentally passionate sister, Anna, and best friend, Arthur, and discovers something science cannot explain.Buried beside an ancient circular stone, they find a leather satchel containing a coded notebook and glowing crystal. The notebook belonged to Professor Albert Hastings, a Cambridge academic who vanished in 1843. Obsessed with deciphering it, William follows Hastings’ trail to Peterhouse College, where the trio break into restricted archives and photograph the final pages of his journal.Back in the forest, the crystal fits perfectly into the ancient stone. A portal-the Earthina-opens, transporting them to Ciara, a parallel world where nature and civilisation exist in perfect balance. Ciara is everything Earth might have been-and could still be.Guided by Spingle, their playful mentor, they learn of Kuva, an ancient wisdom comprising five teachings that allow individuals and worlds to flourish in harmony. Aerin, one of Ciara’s elders, imparts the first: the fundamental power of kindness. He entrusts them with the Manturian Crystal, the key to another portal.Returning home, they discover time has not moved. When both crystals are inserted into the stone, glowing symbols form a cryptic map leading them to Stonehenge. Pursued by a shadowy figure, they narrowly escape through another portal.In Ciara, the elder Illia reveals the second teaching: humanity’s vital connection to nature. She also warns them of Vagel, a corrosive force spreading across worlds, feeding on fear, ego, and disconnection. Vagel has destroyed seekers of Kuva’s teachings before and will stop at nothing to prevent all five from being realised.Back on Earth, Vagel’s influence becomes increasingly visible. Racing against time, the trio follow Hastings’ trail through Brú na Bóinne in Ireland and Framlingham Castle in Suffolk. Amid growing danger, they uncover the third and fourth teachings: quieting the ego to live fully in the present, and understanding the circular nature of resources and interconnectedness of all living things.With one teaching remaining, Vagel captures Arthur and drags him into its decaying abyss. Forced to confront his deepest fears, William must abandon certainty and embrace the unknown. Against every instinct, he chooses belief over logic and enters Vagel’s nightmarish realm. Battling winged beasts and overwhelming doubt, he finds Arthur, and together they escape through the Earthina.Their final destination is the Ring of Brodgar in the Orkney Islands. As a violent storm erupts and Vagel unleashes its fury, they locate the last portal stone. At the height of the chaos, Kuva emerges through the Earthina and reveals the final truth: humans are not separate from the universe, but living threads within its vast, interconnected tapestry-and enlightenment carries responsibility.Transformed, they return home with a new understanding of their place in the world. William, once bound by logic alone, now recognises the power of science, belief, and action working together. Determined to share what they have learned, they tell their story in a book titled Circles: The Secrets of the Stones. Their greatest adventure is only beginning. 6
