For nearly 10,000 years, the Trials have been a sacred tradition.

But, when all of the 12-year-old children in Ranewood are banished into the nearest spectral forest, they quickly realize that the Ildarwood is not nearly as safe as they were told. Stalked by faceless hunters whose souls have been ravaged by Trials past, the children - now Ildarbound - must learn to control one of nine elements from the spirit realm to save the Ildarwood, their families, and themselves from an ancient spectral blight.

Who will master their abilities and rise to fight the growing threat? And, who will lose their souls to the faceless hunters? Their stories are about to unfold…
