The Apprentice & the Lost City

Magical stones, crazed wizards, and powerful thieves were all things that Emma Marsh was not expecting when she took on the title of Grand Apprentice. But, with a mystery to solve and her reputation to save, what is a girl to do?

❦❦❦

Eleven-year-old, Emma Marsh has always had her head in the clouds. Dreaming of things such as riding dragons and casting spells, everyone in the city of Sonder knew that her dreams would never come true. After all, dragons have been extinct for hundreds of years and, not to mention, she's not even a witch!

Once it is revealed that Emma is the heir of the notorious wizard, Merlin, she'll finally have the chance to make those silly little dreams a reality.

Now, with powers way beyond her control and the whole world keeping their eye on her progress, Emma will have to prove herself worthy of the magic bestowed upon her...
