YA
Having escaped their grandmother's menacing village in Triskellion, twins Rachel and Adam are immediately taken captive by a sinister organization desperate to understand their alien powers. A headlong flight across Europe introduces them to other, equally magical, sets of twins. The characters can be cardboard, even stereotyped, but the world-building is intriguing, and secrets and hidden agendas effectively drive the plot.
