"The world-building is intricate, strange but compelling, drawing fantasy elements into its own cohesive and engaging lore... The moving trees, or the ramblers, and the gods of the realm known as the Souls add a mythical and fantastical charm to the story. ...full of dark thrills, adrenaline-pumping moments, and heavy emotions... With twists, loss, revenge, and a quest for peace and freedom, Warden's Reign hits all the right notes not just for YA readers but older fantasy fans as well." Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Lit Amri (5 STARS)

Orphans are snagged from their beds and used in the Warden's dark experiments. Those who seek asylum in the forest must survive the dangers of the night, when the forest trees uproot and roam free.

Fifteen-year-old Kole, with the help of his mentor, Russ , has adapted. He's learned to tame the rampant trees and protect the orphans. But when one of the Warden's mutated creatures discovers the camp and sets it aflame, Kole's life is upturned and the refugees' haven is lost.

Kole must convince the others to make a stand to save themselves-and all their people-from the anguish of becoming the next subjects of brutal experiments. Yet what chance does a rag-tag band of refugees have against the malevolent power and magic of the Warden and his vile creations?

About the Author
Sheets, Parris: - AUTHOR: Parris lives in Mesa, Arizona with her husband and two golden retrievers. She discovered her love for reading when a middle school reading assignment led her to the fantasy section of the library. This passion sparked stories of her own imagination, yet she never put pen to paper until after college. When she's not consumed in her writing, she enjoys Olympic weightlifting, playing Dungeons and Dragons, and coaching color guard.Todd, Darren: - EDITOR: For me, editing is taking something I already love and helping it grow. I appreciate thick skin and an open mind. In writing, often both are necessary for success. After all, writing is rewriting.
