Description

In the rigidly structured society of Anemoi, a young girl named Xander stumbles across people with rare abilities—including the power to manipulate energy and read minds. When she discovers a trinket that turns out to be one of six missing shards of the ancient and powerful Rose of Anemoi artefact, Xander is thrust into a high-stakes quest as one of the few who can use the artefact to help restore balance to her world.

But her journey is not easy. As she uncovers her own power, Xander wrestles with a deep desire for revenge against those who took everything from her. Yet she presses on through woods filled with magic and danger in one last desperate attempt to save the world from destruction and darkness.

Scourge in the Woods is the first book in The Rose of Anemoi, a dark fantasy series about survival, power, and revenge. Fans of fast-paced, suspenseful fantasy will discover a formidable heroine in this gripping series opener.
