Jim Lake Jr. is just trying to survive high school.
Between his mother's double shifts, the school bully's relentless attacks, and the crushing weight of being a teenager, he has enough on his plate without adding monsters to the mix.
But when a glowing amulet chooses him as the next Trollhunter-protector of the hidden troll civilization beneath Arcadia Oaks-Jim's life changes forever. Suddenly, he's training with a six-eyed scholar named Blinky, learning combat from a gentle giant called AARRRGGHH!!!, and running for his life from Bular, the son of the troll warlord Gunmar.
Meanwhile, two alien refugees hide in plain sight at the same high school. Aja and Krel Tarron, deposed royalty from the planet Akiridion-5, are hunted by intergalactic bounty hunters while searching for their missing parents. Aja, a warrior princess trained from birth, has no interest in Earth or its inhabitants.
Until she meets Jim.
When a Skelteg infestation brings them together in a high-stakes battle, Aja sees something in the anxious teenage boy that reminds her of home: the heart of a warrior. As Jim stands up to bullies and faces down trolls, Aja finds herself drawn to him in ways she never expected.
When Bular corners Jim and his best friend Toby in the forest, Aja and Krel reveal their true identities-and their hidden spaceship. The Tarrons join forces with the Trollhunters, forming an unlikely alliance that spans two worlds.
But Gunmar is rising. The Darklands are stirring. And the Fall of Arcadia is closer than anyone imagines.
The Fall of Arcadia is the first book in the epic Trollhunters: The Alien and the Amulet saga, blending the beloved world of DreamWorks' Trollhunters with the sci-fi adventure of 3Below in a story about courage, trust, and finding home in the most unexpected places.
