"I absolutely love this book. I couldn't put it down. I had it finished within 2 days!"  Fenya, age 11

With Fledger's life hanging in the balance, Root has no choice but to return to the Shack. Once there, she discovers the new Clade in full swing with Dwyn and Lian caught up in its calculated swagger. All seems innocent enough. But Root knows better.

In this second Find, the Valadors face not only the maddening antics of a new Rover but a trap in the resin of angry trees, rollercoaster dives in the underwater tunnels of a Drowned City, and a sinister tour of Vulcherk's Zero-th Floor. But as they draw closer to the elusive HaloEm Quill, it is clear that things are not what the Guardian would have them believe. A terrible power is at play, using Dark Ember to unleash not only a ruthless enemy but a secret that will drag Root into unthinkable disaster.

“Absolutely fabulous: the characters, the plot, the fast pace…just wonderful!! The books I purchased for the library are always out!!”

Librarian - Keheewin School

A new Rover with a grim history, a mysterious power deep in the murky waters of a bayou, riddles, monsters, and untold betrayals abound as the Valadors unwittingly resurrect more of the Dominion’s dark secrets.

In seeking the Tome of Antiquilus, the Bond is broken, and Root, Lian, and Dwyn face lone journeys where courage and loyalty are pushed to the brink.

In a deadly Prexix den, against brutal elements and starvation, Lian’s survival hinges on a single Echo. Dwyn’s heart is ravaged as he tries to navigate unexpected cruelties, the mocking shadows of a dungeon, and a loss that will grieve him to the bone. Root faces an enemy even worse than the Guardian and finds herself utterly shaken by a most unexpected encounter: love.

Fans can expect the same breathtaking imagination and spine-tingling adventure in this gripping third installment of the incomparable Bone Grit Historeum as the Valadors are dragged into battles darker than they ever imagined.
