A forest is dying. A Guardian wakes. Her greatest enemy may be her only hope.

When news of a spreading magical blight reaches Alturis, nineteen-year-old Nienna Comstock is sent to map the corruption. But a routine excursion turns deadly when a violent quake sends her tumbling into an ancient lava chute.

Trapped in the earth, Nienna discovers two things: an unconscious man, and the Earthspark. This ancient black magic marks her as a target for the dark creatures now rising in the mountains. Worse, the legendary Guardians have returned, and the elements are in chaos.

Nienna must accept her magic if they are going to stop the Fire Guardian from rising. But it also means her family's greatest enemy, the Earth Guardian, may be her only ally in the upcoming fight.

If they don't unite, then the Fire Guardian will rise, ready to burn the world.

This Shadow and Bone meets Mark of the Raven is perfect for readers looking for a clean YA epic fantasy novel with elemental magic and high stakes.
