Perfect for fans of The Legend of Korra, Truthwitch, and A Sorcery of Thorns, this magical new fantasy will leave readers desperate for more.

Ice is in her blood.

Eighteen-year-old Waterrunner Eira Landan lives her life in the shadows - the shadow of her older brother, of her magic's whispers, and of the person she accidentally killed. She's the most unwanted apprentice in the Tower of Sorcerers until the day she decides to step out and compete for a spot in the Tournament of Five Kingdoms.

Pitted against the best sorcerers in the Empire, Eira fights to be one of four champions. Excelling in the trials has its rewards. She's invited to the royal court with the "Prince of the Tower," discovers her rare talent for forbidden magic, and at midnight, Eira secretly meets with a handsome elfin ambassador.

But, Eira soon learns, no reward is without risk. As she comes into the spotlight, so too do the skeletons of a past she hadn't even realized was haunting her.

Eira went into the trials ready for a fight. Ready to win. She wasn't ready for what it would cost her. No one expected the candidates might not make it out with their lives.

A Trial of Sorcerers is the first book in a brand new, young adult, epic fantasy for readers who love stories involving: sorcerer competitions, slow-burn romance, adventures to distant lands, and elemental magic.

**A TRIAL OF SORCERERS is set in the Air Awakens universe, but is it's own unique story. Readers new to the universe can start here **

Review

Eira hears whispers, she haunted by what her loss of control with her power three years ago that cost someone their lives, making her an outcast in the tower. Then one day, a competition is announced with the prize to go to Meru, a land she yearns to explore and visit. A start to a new series set in the world of Air Awakens. You can start with this book, but I always feel like your missing out cause characters from other books show up, and I like knowing what is going on in a world. If you do, jump in with this one and go back and read the other books. A lot to uncover about Eira as she battles through this completion, not only about her magic but about where she indeed comes from and why Meru fascinates her so much. Pick this up today. You won’t be disappointed.
