About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the shift from childhood innocence to the complex responsibilities of adolescence and needs a story about loyalty that does not sugarcoat the challenges. It is a perfect fit for the middle schooler who feels they are carrying the weight of the world or struggling to do the right thing when the 'right' path is unclear. The story follows Valkyrie Cain, a teenage sorcerer who must rescue her mentor from a hellish dimension while facing a league of villains who have united against her. While the plot is fast paced and full of witty, dry humor, the emotional core explores the heavy price of devotion and the resilience required to stand by a friend. It is appropriate for ages 10 to 15, offering a safe space to explore dark themes through the lens of a supernatural mystery. Parents will appreciate the way it models courage and accountability without being preachy.
