JOIN THE MULTI-AWARD-WINNING EARTHLINGS WORLD
Peridot has lived a sheltered life. Raised by an overprotective mother on a remote island, the ways of the world remain a mystery, until the arrival of a young boy Euan, and she finally learns the truth.
Peridot and her family are magick-born. Not magic from stories and fables but real magick from the days of old. The ability to control earth, air, fire, water and spirit.
Leaving the safety of her home, Peridot discovers a world unlike any she could have fathomed possible. Humanity is enslaved, a cruel dictator rules the land, and an uprising is on the horizon.
Peridot's magick may be the helping hand needed to save humanity from their doomed fate if she can only learn how to control her gifts in time.
Within Peridot's grasp is the chance to save the world, and earth knows, the world needs saving.

" [...] You can't blame the entire human population for what older generations did, the people you're punishing now, didn't do anything wrong! [...]"
Wow! I am very impressed with the book "Earthlings: The Beginning" by Ray Star. This is probably her literary debut.
I am terrified by the author's vision, in which animals rule the world and humans are their slaves. In this story, humans are food for animals. What's more, animals produce human milk. Could it be that our roles have reversed?
I liked the characters in this book, including:
Peridot - we meet her when she turns thirteen. She is a smart girl, who for some unknown reason is kept on an island by her mother, away from other people. With the appearance and later disappearance of a certain boy, her life will change dramatically. Why? You will find out by reading "Earthlings: The Beginning". I was a big fan of this character. I cried with her. It is worth getting to know her.
Euan - a human boy who found himself on the island in unexplained circumstances. It is thanks to him, among other things, that Peridot slowly began to discover the truth. At some point, he disappears because of her. Will Peridot find him?
Phoenix is a very smart Pitbull Terrier. He is quite a magical dog. He will be Peridot's guide and bodyguard. Will he rise to the occasion and defend her in the hour of trial?
You will also meet other characters worthy of your attention here.
The author presented a very drastic world. I hope that her vision will never come true.
I really got into the story presented here. I became attached to the characters and their fates are not indifferent to me. Although this book is mainly aimed at young people, I will honestly admit that adults will also find something for themselves here.
The plot and action are brilliant and there is no way to get bored here. You will devour this novel in one day. And after the ending, which leaves the reader in total disarray, you will want to read the next parts.
"Earthlings: The Beginning" is the first part of the trilogy entitled "Earthlings".
In conclusion, I ask you: what would you do if you found out that half of humanity has died out and the world is ruled by animals? What's more, you belong to a family that wields magic?
Debuts like "Earthlings: The Beginning" are worth reading.
Congratulations to Ray Star on such a great work.
I hope that one day I will be able to see this novel adapted into a film.
