BOOK OVERVIEW:
In this new fantasy novel for early chapter book readers Noah Hollinger invites you to Essila where a person’s creativity is their magic. Silas is a boy from a village that has never known magic. Esmeree is a girl with a storied past from a magical circus. Both lives would never be the same from the moment their paths cross. They are asked to join the legendary Storytellers Guild, which seeks to understand the magic in their words and fight the darkness that would take it away from them. Silas, Esmeree and their new mentor, the bard Phineas, must travel throughout Essila in search of the seeds of creativity that, when planted in the hearts of the many, will cast away the darkness and allow magic to bloom once more in their world.
