Journey into the enchanting world of The Lost Defenders, where 11-year-old Jace discovers the real reason he can see monsters that no one else can.

Jace Tanner has always been different—he can see monsters no one else can. As if fitting in at school wasn't hard enough! All he wants is to be normal... and maybe make it through his final year of primary school without getting expelled!

But when you can see monsters, trouble follows you everywhere—and things are about to get worse. A lot worse.

When strange happenings begin to unfold, Jace uncovers a secret world hidden behind museum walls and a mysterious curator who knows more than he's saying. Drawn into an ancient mystery, Jace soon realises he's not as alone as he thought.

But with a prophecy threatening to tear down the Veil that separates Earth from the Monster Realm, can Jace and his newfound allies come together, face their fears, and unlock their forgotten inheritance in time to save the world?

A heart-pounding adventure where bravery, friendship and danger collide—and the Lost Defenders are found.
