Description

If you haven't read Australia's bestselling YA author yet it's about time you start!

The Medoran Chronicles is a YA-fantasy series set in a unique parallel world. Part Harry Potter, part X-Men, this series is a favourite with librarians and young readers alike, exploring the themes of friendship, loyalty and belief in oneself, all set against the backdrop of an ancient betrayal and eternal war.

And with the release of the final book in the series, Vardaesia, coming February 18, it's time to embrace the wonder of Medora and go back to where it all began... with Akarnae.

Sixteen-year-old Alexandra Jennings finds herself stranded in Medora, a fantasy world full of impossibilities. As she explores Akarnae Academy, a school for teenagers with extraordinary gifts, she is embraced by colourful new friends who accept her as one of their own.

But Alex soon discovers that she is an unwilling pawn in a deadly game, and the weight of an entire race’s survival rests on her shoulders. She must find a way to protect the Medorans from Aven Dalmarta, the banished Prince from the Lost City of Meya, who is on a quest to reclaim his birthright.
