The Channeler's Daughter - Paperback

by A. J. Valdois (Author)

In a world where everyone has a role, Aara is a misfit. Her parents did not come from the same guild, and her father disappeared before she was born. When she is assigned to apprentice in her mysterious father's guild, she gains a longed-for opportunity to earn a place for herself... if she can prove that she has what it takes to channel. At Trelerra Academy, Aara makes friends and pursues her fascination with dragons. She even bonds with a hatchling dragon. Meanwhile, her efforts to learn more about her father are frustrated at every turn as the masters try to keep their secrets-secrets that threaten to be uncovered by escalating disasters happening in the eastern wasteland. As she delves deeper into her father's enigmatic past, Aara is confronted with a choice. Will she do what it takes to stay within the bounds her guild has set for her? If she does, will she ever truly learn who she is? If she doesn't, will she ever find a place where she belongs?

Loosely inspired by J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, The Channeler's Daughter is the first of a five-book series focusing on one girl's coming-of-age story. Aara's primary journey is to learn how to be different in a world that does not understand her... but desperately needs her.
