One of the youngest students training to become a Scholar in the Order of the Flame, misfit, thirteen-year-old Ara hails from a long line of healers who practice the old magic--healing with their hands, hearts and plants. But the professors at the Citadel favor the new magic--a blend of psychic power and technology--and Ara’s intuitive powers begin to land her in trouble.When the Citadel’s Sacred Flame--lit from the wood of the mythical World Tree, Earth’s only connection to the stars--is replaced by fakery, Ara knows that its Keeper is hiding a dark secret. She is tasked by the Flame’s ancient guardian with locating a seed that will rekindle its light.Guided by two unusual insects, Ara enters the forest in search of an exiled Scholar who can lead her to the World Tree. Immersed in a world of elementals, mythical creatures, and portals in trees, Ara quickly learns that she’s not the only one racing to the World Tree--and something far more sinister than a Shadow Storm is hunting her.
