The Legend

Deep beneath your city's most ancient landmark, where old roots reach into darkness, something enormous sleeps.

A creature of ancient power has been sealed there for centuries, held by a chain of magical wards carved into landmarks across the city.

But the wards are fading. The ground trembles. Shadows move when they shouldn't. And someone — someone brave — must journey to each ward site and rekindle the ancient magic before the creature breaks free.

Your child is that someone.

How It Works

Three steps to forge your child's personal quest

I

Create Your Hero

Name your child as the hero of the story. Add their sibling or best friend as a companion. Their pet becomes the mystical guide — or we'll conjure a magical quokka.

II

We Craft the Story

Our storytelling engine weaves a personalised adventure set in real places your family can visit. Every landmark is real. Every detail is findable.

III

Adventure Awaits

Receive a beautiful hardcover book. Read the story together. Then grab the treasure map and go — visit the real wards, find the hidden runes, and save your city.

Questions & Answers

What ages is this for?
Wardkeep books are written for children aged 6–12, with vocabulary and story complexity tailored to your child's age. The sweet spot is 7–10 year olds who love adventure stories.
Are the locations real places we can visit?
Every single one. Each chapter is set at a real, visually findable landmark in your city. The 'ward markers' in the story are real physical features — a scar on a tree, an anchor on a foreshore, a clock on a gatehouse — that your child can actually go and find.
How long does delivery take?
Digital quests are available for instant download. Hardcover books are printed on demand and typically arrive within 10–14 business days anywhere in Australia.
Which cities are available?
We're launching with Perth, Western Australia. More Australian cities are coming soon — join our waitlist to be the first to know when your city is added.
Can I include siblings or friends?
Absolutely! You can add a companion character — a sibling, friend, or cousin — who adventures alongside your hero. You can also name your family pet as their mystical guide.
Is this a screen-free activity?
Yes! The book is a physical (or printable) book with activities at every stop. The adventure happens in the real world — walking to landmarks, finding hidden details, solving puzzles. No app or screen required.
What if my child wants to do it again?
Each quest is unique — different hero names, companions, and guides create different stories. You can order a new quest with different characters for a fresh adventure on the same trail.
