The Crystal Run marks a change of pace for Sheila O’Flanagan, moving away from her usual contemporary women’s fiction into young adult fantasy. The series begins with The Crystal Run (2017), in which a group of teenagers discover they have unusual abilities that put them in danger. They must band together and go on the run while trying to understand the source of their powers.
The second book, Shield of Lies (2020), continues the story as the teens face new threats and deeper mysteries about their abilities. The series blends action and adventure with the kind of character-focused storytelling O’Flanagan is known for, making it accessible to younger readers while still engaging for fans of her other work.
