about the book


Four heroes. One dark enemy. A battle that could change the Wilden Lands forever.

After the Erlking’s latest attack, Queen Bearer Horra Fyd searches desperately for a way to end his evil schemes once and for all. But when the rats destroy the hidden books that may hold the answers, hope begins to slip away.

An experiment gone wrong throws their newest ally—Grendel—into chaos, just as children begin to vanish and the elves abandon their secret kingdom. Shadows gather. Secrets surface. And time is running out.

Now Horra, Rowan, Glory, and Grendel must summon courage greater than their fears and faith stronger than their doubts. If they fail, the Erlking and his wicked minions will seize the Wilden Lands—and destroy everything they love.

Fans of epic sagas like The Lord of the Rings will be swept into this breathtaking world of magic, peril, and unlikely heroes.

Will four unlikely heroes rise to face the darkness … or will their world fall into ruin? Read this exciting series conclusion to find out.

excerpt

Grendel woke to find herself on the ground and surrounded by a thicket of weeds. Her head ached, as did her body. “What happened?” She sat up. Bugs darted about in the overgrown area, and she swatted the nuisances away. Her sight was dim and her head swam. Swiping a hand across her face, she groaned. “Where am I?”

The last thing she remembered was testing out her soundometers in the troll castle’s lab. She slapped her palms over her ears. The devices were gone. Her heart thundered in her chest.

Those were her prototypes, the only pair she’d built so far. Grendel struggled to recall what happened, how she’d ended up outside the castle, but her mind wouldn’t cooperate. Moaning against the dizziness, she gathered herself and stood. Blood rushed to her head, and she stumbled to her knees.

The last time she felt this way was when the Erlking had changed her the first time. Her eyes snapped open. “This is so not good.”
