Sunderroot (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789199067001)

Magic runs through the roots of the Earth. It always has.

Thirteen-year-old Aria Renwood has never belonged anywhere, with her family unknown and the city itself a stranger. When she is pulled from her life in York to a hidden academy deep in Sweden's ancient forests, everything changes and Aria couldn't help but feel a spark of excitement at the adventure ahead. Built by Norse mages, Oakspire Academy stands in a land where forest spirits whisper and vaesen roam.

Here, Aria discovers the truth: magic isn't just real - it's alive.

And it's dying.

Nature itself has chosen her, but her powers refuse to be tamed. As shadows rise and the balance of the natural world breaks, Aria must decide whether to run from the destiny that terrifies her or fight for the first home she's ever known.

The roots are stirring. And Aria is at the heart of it.
