The Errand Runners

By: Johle, Gwenyth

Between the eternal peace of the South and the burning pits of the North lies the Land of Humans-a world under siege by a hunger that cannot be satisfied.

James Kartigin has the grit to survive the toughest roads. Bella Power has the lore of ancient songs and the voice to match. Together with Slicer, their loyal, purple-eyed capybara, they are the Errand Runners. What started as simple deliveries has become a secret resistance against the encroaching shadows of The Black-Hearted Mal.

To save their home, they must survive the Path of the Nine Trials. From the voice-stealing Echoing Woods to the terrifying Canyon of Shadows, every step tests their courage and their bond. They must reach the celestial Mel Valley to find the Great Harmony-the only force strong enough to face the darkness.

But the road back to the North is paved with fire. With an army of winged Mel at their side, James, Bella, and Slicer must charge into the heart of the Mal's domain to end the hunger forever.

In a world of silence and shadows, one song and a whole lot of grit might just be enough.
