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.
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.

Excerpt
I’m thrilled
to share an excerpt from The Undiscovered
Descendants and give a brief glimpse of Auor Island and its inhabitants.
The excerpt is from the middle of the book where Tristan and Elin have snuck
into a secret tunnel at Aunt Adis’s house. Enjoy!
“I had only the guidance of the little red
light to try to find Tristan’s back and jump on it. Tristan was muttering
frustrations under his breath over my lack of progress. Piggyback success was
finally achieved after the third try. Tristan immediately took off, running as
fast as he could.
For some reason, the way back in the
pitch-dark passage seemed longer. Perhaps because I didn’t have the comforting
blue light of the Trollkors ring, or maybe it was the anxiety over getting out
before we were discovered. We both seemed to draw a sigh of relief as the metal
staircase came into view…wait, I thought, why could I see the metal staircase?
There was faint light...and it was
coming from somewhere above the staircase. Tristan quickly released me and I
slid to the ground. He placed his hand on the metal railing of the staircase.
He clearly felt a vibration. He put a single finger in front of his mouth,
motioning me to stay quiet.
This was bad! There were only two
ways to go—back where we’d come from or up the stairs. Neither were good
options. Tristan seemed to be contemplating the same thing as he came close to
me. He looked back toward the way we’d come and then up the stairs.
Suddenly he pulled on my hand,
tugging me towards the staircase. However, instead of starting upward, he led
me to the back of the last spiral. He motioned me to drop to the ground and
crawl underneath the stairs. I did as he asked, crawling along the damp dirt
floor until I reached the stone wall. Tristan was instantly beside me. I could
feel the heat from his body as it hugged closer.
The shaking of the stairs
intensified. I could hear a faint female voice above us. The voice grew louder
as it approached. It sounded as if it was having a conversation with someone,
but the responding voice was absent.
“Yes, of course, sir…I understand
completely…I am on my way to check the register as we speak…No, sir. I have not
seen any sign of the Resistance assembling on the island...No, sir. I took your
call on SRT. I should hear you fine all the way...Yes, sir, that is correct.
The Smá-menn have not developed
unimpeded cell coverage yet.” The voice paused.
I recognized the figure of Ms.
Haugen, the librarian and Tristan’s aunt, as she stood at the bottom of the
staircase within reaching distance. She seemed to hesitate for a moment as if
sensing our presence.
All she’d have to do was turn around.
With her night vision, Tristan and I huddling underneath the stairs would be
clear as day. I could tell that Tristan was holding his breath as well.
Together we watched as she started to slowly turn her body towards us. We both
shrank down, trying to get as small as possible.”
