The Seven Thunders: Rise of the Twinkling Heir Kindle Edition

"To Wear The Red, You Must Become the Red!" Warrior’s words, a Thunder’s words, words 12-year-old Hermium Goodspeed never imagined he’d say.Scrawny, cerebral amateur tinkerer Hermium Goodspeed isn’t cut out to be a soldier—so he’s stunned when he receives a second letter to a Thunder – a red letter – to attend the most elite magic-military academy in the Thunderlands. At the grand fortress of Glimmeroc, Hermium is faced with the grueling training to join the ranks of the airjocks, who defend the skies with the help of their magical flying suits. Monstrous things stalk him inside the keep, that threaten not only Hermium, but the realm. In this place where he felt he’d never belong, Hermium discovers that he is heir to a secret destiny. With the help of his friends and legendary emissaries of the Gods, Hermium must face what hunts him to uncover the truth of his past. When the armies of light and darkness meet on the battlefield, only Hermium can tip the scales.Rise of the Twinkling Heir is an upper MG Fantasy and will appeal to readers who enjoy rollicking adventures featuring a reluctant hero like Wilderlore: The Accidental Apprentice and exciting rite-of-passage epics like Shadow Magic meets The Invention of Hugo Cabret. It is a whimsical, steampunkish fantasy imbued with a vibrant voice, wry humor, and an unshakable charm that will transport readers to a unique and rich setting and have them eagerly anticipating the sequels.
