Publisher's Synopsis
A captivating and magical middle grade fantasy that follows three young sisters as they struggle to save the world and their lives using forbidden magic.
Growing up as the daughter of an Arch Guild Master, Emily and her two sisters are used to going hungry and being mocked for the holes in her clothes. But when Emily discovers a mysterious artifact hidden deep within the mountainside, she learns that not only is magic real - it caused the Arch Guild's downfall and the Arch Guild wants it back to take revenge. Powerless and afraid, Emily becomes an Arch Guild apprentice, learning its secret history and uncovering a plot to sacrifice the Arch Guild apprentices to bring back dark magic. To save Emily's life, the sisters embark on a perilous mission, confronting treacherous dungeons and wicked enemies. But when evil looms and cruelty threatens the world, Emily and her sisters must learn forbidden magic to challenge the Arch Guild Grandmaster - a dangerous gamble in which Emily must choose between saving the family she loves or condemning the world to darkness. The Girls From The Arch Guild is the fantasy adventure that launched the Arch Guild universe, an epic story of heroines and villains that tells stories of the strength of women, young and old, and the complex relationships in families. Perfect for fans of Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, and E. B. White's Charlotte's Web.
