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.
