<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A young girl is kidnapped by the king to punish her father's rebellion against him. Years later, she returns home a fugitive, while gra ppling with a repressed magic that could, if mastered, make her the most poweerful person in two kingdoms"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In the lush and magical tradition of Naomi Novik's award-winning <i>Uprooted</i> comes this riveting debut from brilliant young writer Callie Bates--whose boundless imagination places her among the finest authors of fantasy fiction, including Sarah J. Maas and Sabaa Tahir.</b> <p/> Lady Elanna is fiercely devoted to the king who raised her like a daughter. But when he dies under mysterious circumstances, Elanna is accused of his murder--and must flee for her life. <p/> Returning to the homeland of magical legends she has forsaken, Elanna is forced to reckon with her despised, estranged father, branded a traitor long ago. Feeling a strange, deep connection to the natural world, she also must face the truth about the forces she has always denied or disdained as superstition--powers that suddenly stir within her. <p/> But an all-too-human threat is drawing near, determined to exact vengeance. Now Elanna has no choice but to lead a rebellion against the kingdom to which she once gave her allegiance. Trapped between divided loyalties, she must summon the courage to confront a destiny that could tear her apart. <p/><b>Don't miss any of Callie Bates's magical Waking Land trilogy: </b><br>THE WAKING LAND - THE MEMORY OF FIRE - THE SOUL OF POWER <p/><b>Praise for <i>The Waking Land</i></b> <p/> "Callie Bates has written an exciting and involving first book, and she is clearly a writer of real talent."<b>--Terry Brooks</b> <p/> "A heartbreaking, enchanting, edge-of-the-seat read that held me captive from start to finish!"<b>--Tamora Pierce</b> <p/> "<i>The Waking Land </i>is all about rising to challenges, and it succeeds wonderfully."<b>--Charlaine Harris</b> <p/> "A simmering tale of magic that builds to a raging inferno, and hits like a cross between Brandon Sanderson and Pierce Brown."<b>--Scott Sigler</b> <p/>"This superior novel blends passionate romance and sweeping magic. . . .
