[edit] About the Books

[edit] Narration

In all the books, the prologue is written in third person, while all the chapters are written in first person with two narrators switching off telling the story. While the narrators are together, their telling of the story is not redundant.

In the first novel, "The Named," Isabel and Ethan narrate. In the second ("The Dark") and the third ("The Key"), Isabel and Arkarian and then Rochelle and Matt narrate, respectively.

[edit] Setting

The story is set in Angel Falls (fictional, not the real Angel Falls) which is directly above the ancient city of Veridian. The town is set in Australia, somewhere near the bush or a national park. The town is secluded and borders the Australian bush. Waterfalls, forests and streams encase the town, making the training for the characters easier. The town people do not know that their town is located directly above the ancient lost city of Veridian, which is where an ancient prophecy exists. It is revealed in The Dark the National Park is '36 degrees soulth of the equator, 148 degrees east of the prime meridian'. From context, the town appears to be small and spread out, the high school having a small population.

The story appears to be set in the present or just a few years in the past.
