About Cherie Ruffo

Cherie Ruffo believes there is more magic in the world than we can see—and that some of the greatest powers are already waiting to be awakened within us.

When she isn't dreaming up secret cities, ancient crystals, mysterious portals, dragons, and impossible adventures, Cherie is a spiritual teacher, environmental entrepreneur, and lifelong believer in the power of a really good story.

The Source Crystals began with a question:

What if children discovered early in life just how powerful they really are?

That question led to Amanda Fisher, twelve ancient powers, the hidden world of Pukalani...and an adventure much bigger than Cherie ever imagined.

She hopes her readers close each book believing that perhaps magic isn't something we find.

Perhaps it's something we awaken.

She shares her adventures with her husband, Dan, and two lovable and slightly crazy Polish Lowland Sheepdogs, who make sure life is never boring—and writing is never too quiet.

Cherie is already working on Amanda's next adventure, The Underground Pyramid.

The Source Crystals - (Book 1) will be available in September 2026!

When 13-year-old Amanda Fisher begins receiving mysterious messages from her late grandmother in dreams, she uncovers an ancient family secret: she and her brother, Danny, are the last in a long line of Guardians of the Source Crystals—twelve powerful stones that have been hunted for thousands of years by the ruthless Hraefn Corporation and otherworldly creatures.

Guided by Elders from the Fifth Dimension, Amanda and her team—including Danny, their foster brother, Sam, and Myalani, an otherworldly girl from Pukalni —must awaken their inner abilities and activate the Source Crystal of Faith before it’s too late. If they fail, the Earth could spiral back into the terror of a new Dark Age.

But no training can fully prepare them for what lies ahead. The guardians must face trials that test not only their faith, - but their strength, courage, trust, and the very essence of who they are.
