(Book 1 in Series)
by W & G Coakley

Perfect for every young-at-heart reader, of any age, who's ever felt too anxious, too reckless, too ordinary, or simply "too ........"

Before the Last Light Fades is a heartfelt fantasy adventure about friendship, courage, and discovering that even the smallest spark can brighten the darkest path.

In the Whispering Woods, the ancients are dying. For a thousand years, its glow has carried the magic-light, song, and life woven into every root and river. Now that magic is fading, and everything is slipping into darkness... real, wrong darkness.

Three completely mismatched adventurers become the unlikely last hope:

- Morty - a careful planner whose anxious mind prepares for everything, except ....
- Sophie - a fearless lone-wolf who believes she doesn't need anyone.
- Zip - a tiny spark convinced he's not special enough to make any difference at all.

Together, they must journey through light-swallowing caves, storm-torn skies, raging rivers, and valleys where even hope feels lost. Somewhere beyond these perils lie the legendary and ancient starberries-the only magic that can save them all.

But the greatest obstacles aren't the monsters, riddles, or dangers ahead. It's the doubts inside them. To survive, they'll need to trust each other, face the fears they've buried deep, and discover that their weaknesses may be the very strengths the forest needs.

As a dark force stalks them through the shadows, failure means the forest's last light will fade forever. Can three seemingly flawed friends find their true strengths?

Perfect for readers who love heartfelt adventure, magical quests, courageous misfits, and stories that remind us that bravery shines brightest when we feel small.
