The last thing Barclay Thorne ever wanted was an adventure. Thankfully, as an apprentice to the town’s mushroom farmer, Barclay need only work hard and follow the rules to one day become the head mushroom farmer himself. But, then Barclay accidentally breaks his town’s most sacred rule: never ever EVER stray into the Woods – to Barclay’s horror, he faces a fate far worse than being eaten: he unwittingly bonds with a Beast and is run out of town by an angry mob. Determined to break this bond and return home, Barclay journeys to find the mysterious town of Lore Keepers, to see if the spell can be broken. — Publisher’s description |

But as mysterious, unnatural sandstorms start to appear around the Desert, there are more than just exams and bragging rights at stake. And, the appearance of an exclusive, magical library might just be the key to everything … — Publisher’s description
