THE SOPHIA FREEMAN SERIES
by T.X. Troan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Middle-Grade Fantasy Mystery
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
What
begins as a special trip for eleven-year-old SOPHIA FREEMAN and her billionaire
father, leaves her trapped on a mysterious island with a tree boy and other
fantastical creatures.
The
moment Sophia thinks her situation can’t get any crazier, she is shocked to
learn the island is under a deadly eternal curse. All living things are rapidly
decaying and soon nothing and no one—including herself—will be left alive.
From
competing in a three-round yearly held competition to reviving a long-lost
magical spell, Sophia and her new companions must gather every ounce of
courage, wit and skill as they are stepping closer to breaking the 150-year-old
curse. But will they make it in time while surrounded by enemies and traitors
aiming to stop them at any cost?

Excerpt from Book Four:
With most islanders in the water, a menacing laugh halted
them.
“Going somewhere?” said Arbiter Scarlon, standing next to
Bolrock, the monstrous boulder creature and dark guardian leader who almost
killed Sophia when she first came to Pandilone Island. Iron-masked guards stood
behind them.
“Scarlon, after what the island has given you—how could you
betray us?” Arbiter Nulon snapped telepathically.
“In order for all of us to have a better future, we must
make a change to this place,” Arbiter Scarlon pointed out. “I am just …
speeding up the process.”
Tim clenched his fists and barked, “You just want more power
for yourself!”
“We are such fools for trusting you.” Arbiter Nulon lowered
her head.
“You are not the only fools here,” said Arbiter Scarlon,
glaring at Allen. “Boy, I thought you were smarter than this. You could’ve had
so much more, but instead you decided to leave with these pathetic weaklings.”
“I never wanted anything to do with you or the new era,”
Allen revealed. “I only got close to you guys to destroy Tombermon.”
“He was just pretending this whole time?” Tim whispered,
staring at Sophia.
She nodded with a grin.
Arbiter Nulon stepped past her guards. “Scarlon, you can
have the island. We just want to leave in peace.”
“Ah, that is very generous of you,” he said sarcastically,
waving his hand to command his army to surround them. “Unfortunately, no one is
leaving this place.”
“Why not?” Sophia demanded, shifting into her attack
position. “You already got what you were after.”
“The reason is very simple: to ensure a long-lasting new
era, there must not be any kind of rebellion,” Arbiter Scarlon explained.
“You think we will return one day and take everything back?”
Allen guessed.
“The risk is far too great,” Arbiter Scarlon continued. “But
if you remain here, the chance of that happening is extremely low.”
“So, what you’re telling us is staying on the island is our
only option?” Allen asked.
He sneered. “Well, it’s your only living option.”
“Enough with your nonsense!” Arbiter Nulon thrust out her
hand and shards of ice appeared from her palm, forming an oversized sword.
“BLIZZARD BLADE!” She flung her sword over fifteen feet, snow flying
everywhere.
