Twitches is a popular young adult fantasy novel series by H. B. Gilmour and Randi Reisfeld. The series, ten in all, is about identical twin sister witches separated at birth, Camryn Barnes and Alexandra Fielding, also known as Apolla and Artemis DuBaer. They have matching amulets of the sun and the moon and also similar powers to said celestial bodies. The twins' guardians are Ileana, a cousin; and Karsh, a mentor. The twins' birth was foretold by their ancestors years ago. It is called the La Prophetie Aux Yeux Gris (The Prophecy of the Gray Eyes). The two lived completely different lives, miles away from each other, not knowing of their powers until they met in The Power of Two. The books are published by Scholastic Press, which also publishes the more popular (and mentioned frequently in the books) Harry Potter series. No plans are currently made for any future books in the series, but some fans[who?] hope that the authors will pick up where Destiny's Twins left off, although it does not seem likely since the authors are said to be extremely busy with other projects. Tagline: Twins. Witches. Exactly.

After her mother died giving birth to her, he abandoned her and Karsh Antayus, a distant relative of her mother, raised her. Her mother, Beatrice Hazlitt, had little or no power but Ileana was a very powerful witch until she found out who her father was. Ileana is sometimes self centered and has a temper but she is caring and dependable, unlike her father. Her boyfriend is Brice Stanley. [edit] Powershyperactive sight shape-shifting [edit] In The MoviesIleana wasn't their cousin. In Twitches, Ileana and Karsh went into hiding. She is Camryn's Protector and is slightly too perky.

[edit] Miranda Martine-DuBaerShe is the mother of the twins. She wears a sun and moon amulet. After the birth of the twins and her husband's death, she lost almost all of her powers and she disappeared. No one knew where she was except Thantos. She thought her daughters were dead too until Thantos decided to tell her they were alive 14 years later. After she met them for the first time, she went back to Coventry Island and tried to connect to her home again. She didn't know that Thantos was using her until he paralyzed her and Ileana trying to get Cam on his side. [edit] Powerstracking people with her mind [edit] In The MoviesShe wouldn't accepted the fact that Aaron was dead for many years after he died, looking for him in the shadowlands, but to no avail.

He is briefly seen at the beginning of Twitches and is portrayed by Kevin Jubinville in Twitches Too. [edit] Thantos DuBaerThe father of Ileana and uncle to the twins. He practices dark magic and was always jealous of his brother, Aaron. He has tried to kill the twins numerous times but failed.

[edit] David and Emily BarnesThe adoptive parents of Camryn and the legal guardians of Alex. He and Emily have a son, Dylan, that is 10 months younger than Cam and Alex. [edit] EmilyEmily is an interior designer and had no idea that the twins are witches because she is a mortal. [edit] In the moviesShe finds out Camryn is a witch after Cam and Alex meet. She is very fun and easygoing, and is very supportive of Camryn. She is portrayed by Karen Holness. [edit] DavidDavid is a lawyer and knew since Cam was a baby that she was a witch. [edit] PowersDave is known as a sensitive (a person with powers who is not a witch or warlock) and when he adopted Camryn ("Cam") he became a Protector.
