I'm Barry Nugent, an author of supernatural adventure novels. I'm also the creative force behind the Unseen Shadows Universe (USD), which expands the world and characters from my novels across multiple platforms. To date there are over twenty titles from novels, comics and audio dramas put together by some of most talented and creative folks it has been my privilege to work with.

A short cut through a graveyard throws twelve-year-old Ada Amaya and her school friends into a mystery involving a missing school teacher, an ancient puzzle box and a shadowy government agency.
The kids must solve the mystery before a warlock can kick start the apocalypse or worse…their parents find out what they’ve been up to.
“These kids don’t go to a school of the weird and wonderful, come from a fabled lineage, have powers or special destinies. What they are is smart, tough, loyal and brave – the perfect ingredients for any hero.” – Barry Nugent
