The series follows the story of Emily and Navin, two siblings who discover a mysterious amulet that grants them extraordinary powers. In the first book, titled "The Stonekeeper," Emily and Navin's mother is kidnapped by a strange creature, and they find themselves transported into an extraordinary world called Alledia.

They encounter a talking rabbit named Miskit, a robotic bunny named Cogsley, and a giant mechanical spider known as a Guardian.



Wicked Glam Witch Makeup Look

Halloween makeup looks are oh-so-fun because you can get as kooky, dark, and spooky with your color stories and creativity as you want, which was exactly what I did for this October-inspired yet wearable witchy makeup look using the stunning Kaleidos Makeup The Escape Pod Palette.

I even drew on a pair of black eyeliner wings, an element I tend to avoid in my more common beauty routine but without it this look just wouldn’t have felt as wicked. The finished looked also gave off some much appreciated Maleficent vibes as it includes her iconic hues from the animated film.
