Publisher's Synopsis
NY Times Bestselling Author E.G. Foley brews up a magical potion for fantasy readers of all ages!
Take a dash of Harry Potter and a splash of Oliver Twist, add a pinch of steampunk and a sprinkle of Victorian fairy lore, and what do you get? The Gryphon Chronicles! A rollicking fantasy adventure series that's as much fun for grownups as it is for kids. A Storm on the Horizon... Every spring, the aristocratic magical families of Victorian England gather secretly at Merlin Hall to hobnob and hold the annual Fey Parliament. While the adults of Magic-kind - from wizards to wood elves, fauns to fairies, giants to djinnis, and their human counterparts - debate matters of importance, the gifted youths must undergo the dreaded Assessments, testing their supernatural abilities. And Jake's up next. For rascally Jake Everton, the boy Earl of Griffon, the pressure's on! Hungry to qualify for the elite Lightrider program that guarantees a life of adventure, Jake must prove himself to the Elders as a worthy young hero-in-training. But when a mysterious junior witch arrives at Merlin Hall with secrets in her eyes and danger at her heels, Jake and his friends must unite to defeat the dark forces that have invaded the gathering and have sworn the frightfully-talented girl's destruction. Join Jake and Dani, Archie and Isabelle on an epic journey into a world of enchantment, making marvelous new friends...and terrible new enemies. The Gryphon Chronicles Series:1) THE LOST HEIR
