The Black Egg Children Paperback – January 10, 2026

Set in the American Midwest, The Black Egg Children tells the story of Rachel, a girl destined to become the next Earth cosmos case manager. She inherits a sacred legacy passed down for over two thousand years: the power to guide the Earth's balance using everyday kitchen tools, an old basement stove, and her grandmother's mason jars--each containing the living spirit of the four seasons. While learning to understand this elemental magic, controlling weather, and directing the rhythm of life, Rachel remains just a teenager, caught between childhood and destiny. But her world begins to unravel when her powers are misused, especially by those she trusted most. Wounded but not broken, Rachel finds strength in an unlikely fellowship of magical allies, including two talking ravens and an enchanted swordsman. Together, they confront an impending darkness, and Rachel begins to face a painful truth: Adults aren't always right, especially those who manipulate others to maintain control. With courage and newfound clarity, Rachel reclaims her voice, her future, and her magic. And as the world tetters on the edge of collapse, she and her allies rise to restore balance. Read more
