Enter a Hidden World of Powerful Magic, Ancient Secrets, and Deadly Peril
Amber Shadows and the Missing Wands is the latest work of award-winning poet and author Wendy Willet, a lively and engaging story of the emotional trials and tribulations of a thirteen-year-old White Magic witch-in-training. Left in the care of her older sister and brother while their parents are on a quest of their own, Amber, along with her two best friends, face numerous beasts and life-threatening events managed by the Dark Magic hand of Lady Gondara. Immediately upon entering the pages of Amber Shadows and the Missing Wands, the reader is thrown into a world that is far from the ordinary. Two secrets have remained hidden and protected within a trunk in the Shadows family attic. However, unbeknownst to them, hidden within the ring of woods just beyond their backyard, is a third secret. Amber Shadows, the youngest of three, discovers two of these secrets while searching for information for an essay. Later, during a birthday camp out, she is awakened by an apparition, who leads her to discover the third secret. Unaware of the danger she is now in, Amber convinces her friends to journey along with her on a dangerous quest. Terrifying events unfold as she searches for her parents, grandparents, and two wands with the greatest of magical powers. Amber and friends must overcome obstacles, take on conjured-up beasts, find their way out of traps, and manage to return home safe and sound. But will they?
Amber Shadows and the Missing Wands takes a fresh look at a popular genre. "If you are expecting to read a story about a medieval princess, forced to marry a dark wizard more than twice her age, or missionary knights setting off to fight and conquer a monstrous dragon guarding two stolen wands of power and glory, then you would be very much mistaken," author Wendy Willet says.
