Six young people on the run, guided by a shared dream of an island that couldn’t possibly exist, driven by memories they can’t explain, and a vicious army recruiter on their trail.
Jarah, an insecure sixteen-year-old from the village of Meadowfield who yearns for a different life.
Adain, Jarah’s trusting and popular friend.
Tegan, an overly-sensitive girl from the neighboring village of Potter’s Hill, betrothed to a boy she doesn’t even like.
Djana, an entitled debutante, who discovers a secret about her parents she wished she hadn’t.
Kex, a fiery huntress from the Stone Wolf clan of the tundra, who flees her home to avoid marriage with an older man.
Tristan, the soldier, who must make a life-changing choice.
They come together, along with a seventh, seemingly by accident, but in their world, nothing ever happens by chance.
On a quest to discover the secret of their past before it catches up with them, the Six must cross a continent and a deadly mountain range teeming with lethal creatures. A mysterious shape-shifter, a traitor in their midst, and a Reptilian ruler who will stop at nothing to ensure their mission fails — their chances of success are slim to none.
Will they find the powerful crystal lost 500 years ago, or will they once again be betrayed by one of their own?
An epic fantasy adventure that will delight fans of Tolkien and Christopher Paolini. The first book in The Ialana Series, suitable reading for all ages.
