"The last semester of classes for Sophie Briggs at The School of Roots and Vines is racing to the end. A confrontation and battle with the Serpent, Azdaja, is fast approaching.
The legendary Thicket Hall is dying and no matter what the Defenders do, they can only slow the ancient tree's death, not stop it.
Could its end lead to a new beginning?
If the Defenders can defeat the Serpent. Then death can lead to new life.
Graduation, a wedding, a death, a rebirth, and an even bigger surprise await Sophie, Marcus, and the Defenders.
Will they be able to put an end to Azdaja for good and use their powers to replant Thicket Hall in time for the next students? Will the School of Roots and Vines survive?"
"It's the final year for most of the Defenders at the School of Roots and Vines. It's hard to imagine that Sophie is beginning her senior year and planning her wedding to Marcus the following summer.
The group still needs to find their 6th Defender in order to save Thicket Hall and prevent the Serpent from being unleashed.
Who is it?
No one seems to know, or at least they aren't inclined to reveal themselves to the other Defenders. They may not even know what they are and that could prove a challenge when they need to defend Thicket Hall.
It will be up to the intrepid group of friends to find out who is the last ally and bring them into their circle.
But just as they're cruising toward the end of their time inside the ancient tree, the danger grows. Five of the Six seals guarding the Serpent have been opened. The Defenders will have to fight with everything they have to prevent Caleb and the Templetons from taking control.
Is this the end for Thicket Hall and the tree? Or will the Defenders find a way to save it and the school?"
"Sophie Briggs has made it to her junior year at the School of Roots and Vines, but it isn't all fun and games for the Defenders.
Change is coming. Some good and some . . . not so much. Friends are breaking up—will Sophie have to take sides?
Sophie and Marcus are struggling, too. Marcus is pushing Sophie and the rest of the gang away, worried that being a Templeton will put them all at risk. He thinks he needs to do this by himself.
Does he have to go it alone?
Both Sophie and Marcus have taken on jobs at the EBI, unbeknownst to each other, hoping to help mend a bruised heart. Fate might just have a different plan in store for them.
Something dark is brewing again in Mammoth Cave. We're pretty sure it's going to take more than Marcus to put an end to it.
Can Sophie convince Marcus and the rest of the Defenders that they are better together so they can prevent another disaster?"
"Everything is changing. It's the last semester of junior year for the Elemental, Sophie Briggs and her friends at The School of Roots and Vines.
But will it be for better or worse?
Classes take a priority for the teenagers but work and figuring out how to be a Defender is a close second.
Both Marcus and Sophie's mysterious new tutor at the EBI have secrets to hide. Will Sophie harness a new curiosity in pursuit of the truth about them both?
Marcus is set to graduate at the end of the semester. The teen romance with Sophie may end too. Then there's his spot with the Defenders. But before that happens, there's still a mystery to figure out.
Will she and Marcus be able to figure out Caleb Justice's secret before it's too late?"

The National Elemental Skills Trials are coming up, and Sophie and her friends are called to represent the school in faraway Colorado.
Dark forces and powerful, all-too-familiar enemies are out to kidnap Sophie and steal her elemental powers. They'll stop at nothing to get their revenge.

Even Sophie is changing, though she doesn't see her new abilities, yet. Just what is going on?
A new girl comes to the school and it's not too long before the fabled tree of Thicket Hall is turning against Sophie and her friends and no longer trusts them.

"What if the sky was deadly?
Fin has never stepped foot on the surface of the Earth. Working the mines, deep below, has been the only life she's ever known. The underground is nothing more than an existence of sweat and monotony in service to the Enhanced Human Coalition—the genetically-modified who control the underground from the world above. Every Dweller underground understands that you serve the EHC up top, or you don't eat.
Two hundred years after the planet's magnetic poles began to flip, Earth's surface has become irradiated and unsustainable. As the land, water, and even the air grew toxic, the underprivileged were doomed to a life of hard labor underground, while the Enhanced Human Coalition on the surface enjoy their spoils.
But now, Fin and her friends discover a stolen piece of EHC tech that modifies genetics, giving them the abilities of those up top—varied levels of increased strength, intelligence, and adaptation to the surface's harsh conditions. The theft of this technology triggers a manhunt, forcing them to flee to the most dangerous place they could possibly go . . . aboveground.
Can she save a world broken in two?"
