The Trials of Ildarwood: Spectres of the Fall

＂The Last Airbender meets Hunger Games＂ in this award-winning fantasy adventure!

For 10,000 years, the Trials have been a sacred tradition. Only within an ancient forest can every child of twelve one day master their elemental gifts.

But when Telara Brent and her friends begin their Trials, they quickly realize the Ildarwood is far more perilous than they were told. Stalked by merciless Cynders -- the corrupted remnants of Trials past -- they must unearth dark secrets and unlock their elemental powers to save the Ildarwood, their families, and themselves from a monstrous threat.

Who will rise to overcome the spreading evil? And who fall to the countless dangers lurking within those ancient woods?

Immerse yourself in an inspirational story unlike any other, and find out why readers everywhere are falling in love with the magical world of the Ildarwood!
