Legend of the Wildlings - Paperback

This is the story of a girl with nothing left to lose.An island filled with magic and mystery.And the legend that could destroy it all....but what if the legend was wrong?

At fifteen, Ember Lothbrok has spent half her life passing through the Galway foster system, though strange occurrences seem to follow her around like a cloud of bad luck. Even if her guardians aren't completely put off by the rain clouds that form inside or footstools that suddenly transform into pigs, her lavender eyes flecked with ash always seal her fate.

Everything changes the day a mysterious new social worker appears for her next family transfer and whisks her across Loch Lurgan to Ellesmere- an island inhabited by the magic blooded Northmen, like her. After settling in with the Kitts, her newest foster family, and starting school at Heksheim Academy of Myth and Magic, she allows herself to have hope for the first time in years.

But if Ember is sure of anything, it's that a happy ending is not in the cards for her. Just as she's beginning to settle in, she unearths a prophecy promising death and destruction to the magical creatures and beings on the island. With her newfound friends and a boy with a secret, Ember must try to stop the dark forces threatening her found family and new home before it's too late.
