Seekers of the Wild Realm

Twelve-year-old Bryn has always dreamed of becoming a Seeker, just like her dad. As a Seeker she would be one of the few tasked with collecting magical items from the Wild Realm and protecting the creatures who dwell there. There's just one problem: only boys and men have ever been Seekers. When a Seeker position opens up, Bryn is determined to change that-even if not everyone is ready for change. When Ari, a big rival for the vacant position, shows up on her doorstep, Bryn is skeptical. But then he shows her his big secret-a hidden baby dragon just outside the village. He needs her help to care for it, and in return, Ari will help Bryn train and compete for the open Seeker spot. With nothing to lose, Bryn agrees. Despite bonding over their mutual love of magical creatures, Bryn can't forget Ari is still her rival, and she is suspicious of exactly how close he is to the current unrest in the village. And when Bryn realizes just how high the stakes are, can she save both her family-and the realm?

After finally realizing her dream of becoming a Seeker, Bryn is ready for her first official challenge. And she can't wait to face it with her good friend and fellow new Seeker Ari by her side. When an ancient threat to the Realm emerges-a plague that threatens to destroy everything that she and the rest of the Council have sworn to protect-Bryn swears she will find a cure. But when Bryn tries to voice her ideas on how to best handle things, the other Seekers seem to turn against her-including Ari. As the plague jeopardizes the Realm, Bryn realizes she must put the fate of the Realm in her own hands, taking huge risks in the process. And when those risks endanger her and Lilja, Ari's beloved dragon, Bryn must face some tough choices. Can Bryn figure out how to rescue herself, her friends, and the entire Realm from an unimaginable fate?
