The last semester of classes for Sophie Briggs at The School of Roots and Vines is racing to the end. A confrontation and battle with the Serpent, Azdaja, is fast approaching.
The legendary Thicket Hall is dying and no matter what the Defenders do, they can only slow the ancient tree's death, not stop it.
Could its end lead to a new beginning?
If the Defenders can defeat the Serpent. Then death can lead to new life.
Graduation, a wedding, a death, a rebirth, and an even bigger surprise await Sophie, Marcus, and the Defenders.
Will they be able to put an end to Azdaja for good and use their powers to replant Thicket Hall in time for the next students? Will the School of Roots and Vines survive?
It's the final year for most of the Defenders at the School of Roots and Vines. It's hard to imagine that Sophie is beginning her senior year and planning her wedding to Marcus the following summer.
The group still needs to find their 6th Defender in order to save Thicket Hall and prevent the Serpent from being unleashed.
Who is it?
No one seems to know, or at least they aren't inclined to reveal themselves to the other Defenders. They may not even know what they are and that could prove a challenge when they need to defend Thicket Hall.
It will be up to the intrepid group of friends to find out who is the last ally and bring them into their circle.
But just as they're cruising toward the end of their time inside the ancient tree, the danger grows. Five of the Six seals guarding the Serpent have been opened. The Defenders will have to fight with everything they have to prevent Caleb and the Templetons from taking control.
Is this the end for Thicket Hall and the tree? Or will the Defenders find a way to save it and the school?
Everything is changing. It's the last semester of junior year for the Elemental, Sophie Briggs and her friends at The School of Roots and Vines.
But will it be for better or worse?
Classes take a priority for the teenagers but work and figuring out how to be a Defender is a close second.
Both Marcus and Sophie's mysterious new tutor at the EBI have secrets to hide. Will Sophie harness a new curiosity in pursuit of the truth about them both?
Marcus is set to graduate at the end of the semester. The teen romance with Sophie may end too. Then there's his spot with the Defenders. But before that happens, there's still a mystery to figure out.
Will she and Marcus be able to figure out Caleb Justice's secret before it's too late?
Sophie Briggs has made it to her junior year at the School of Roots and Vines, but it isn't all fun and games for the Defenders.
Change is coming. Some good and some . . . not so much. Friends are breaking up-will Sophie have to take sides?
Sophie and Marcus are struggling, too. Marcus is pushing Sophie and the rest of the gang away, worried that being a Templeton will put them all at risk. He thinks he needs to do this by himself.
Does he have to go it alone?
Both Sophie and Marcus have taken on jobs at the EBI, unbeknownst to each other, hoping to help mend a bruised heart. Fate might just have a different plan in store for them.
Something dark is brewing again in Mammoth Cave. We're pretty sure it's going to take more than Marcus to put an end to it.
Can Sophie convince Marcus and the rest of the Defenders that they are better together so they can prevent another disaster?
Sophie Briggs will have to fight her way out this time but without her elemental gift of life. It's the spring semester of Year Two at the famous School of Roots and Vines.
The National Elemental Skills Trials are coming up, and Sophie and her friends are called to represent the school in faraway Colorado.
Dark forces and powerful, all-too-familiar enemies are out to kidnap Sophie and steal her elemental powers. They'll stop at nothing to get their revenge.
Is there a snake in the grass?
Sophie, Marcus, and the gang are out to unravel the secrets of the Defenders before Sophie's magic is gone for good.
Will they be too distracted? Or will the secrets of the ancient tree at the School of Roots and Vines help them to victory?
To seek, pursue, and fall in love with Jesus with radical abandon.
Single Woman Mandy Hale shares with readers what can happen in their lives by praying this powerful prayer. She has shown women how important it is to be secure in singleness by being smart, strong, and independent. In this all new book, she will prompt readers to never settle and not miss out on the beauty that can be found in times of "waiting." The Single Woman Says:
"Whether you're idling in stubborn sinfulness or walking in seeming never-ending singleness or living with any sort of waiting: Waiting for love, waiting for babies, waiting for marriage, waiting for a cure, or a miracle, or a sign, or for GOD . . . I hope my journey will make the wait a little easier and the uncertainty a little bit more beautiful."
Starting with relationships, but going beyond into areas like career, friendships, and life, Mandy will guide readers through what you can achieve if you look beyond your current circumstances, never settle for less than what God has for you, and find beauty in the waiting.
The Wolf's Point werewolf pack, born from the magic that calls small groups of middle-aged women to embrace their inner and outer wolves, has been protecting the town for generations. Now Becca Thornton and the Pack have their hands (and paws) full of all the trouble they can handle. Plus a bit extra. Pack member Erin Adams just found a dead body in the trunk of her car and confessed to murder. But no one's sure who the victim is and Erin can't remember what happened. Did Erin fall off the wagon and murder a former foe? She doesn't trust herself and Becca's beginning to have her doubts.
If that wasn't enough, Becca's ex-husband sold their old house and their new neighbors are clearly up to something. Can the Pack get the mystery solved and Erin's name cleared before the next full moon? Or do the town's new residents have other plans?
