Description
Banished deep into the wilderness for a crime they didn’t commit, four desperate teenagers must discover their true potential to survive… and keep their blossoming supernatural abilities hidden from a cunning, deceptive enemy.
Sixteen-year-old Fleta, a shy, destitute survivor of an oppressive home and sexual abuse is forced to leave Penny Grove and navigate through both the dense, primaeval Wildlands Forest and a personal struggle for self-discovery and autonomy in a dark, dangerous land.
Fleta’s predicament becomes even more dire, when an argument divides her initial group of ten peers down to just four travelers - her twin brother Bronson, who is battling inner demons and a hallucinogenic drug addiction, her best friend Dawn, who laments the loss of her betrothed, and Kenley, a meek, quiet hunter with a burgeoning infatuation towards her.
Together, the four deal with pain, heartache, and betrayal, as they struggle with the losses of their families, the inherent eeriness of their surroundings… and the growing knowledge that someone or something is hunting them.
The Great Leap is the emotionally charged, immersive first volume of the Children of Inauron dystopian fantasy series, which features heart-stopping action, memorable characters, and terrifyingly vivid landscapes.
As their physical bodies become infused with mysterious and powerful superhuman abilities, can the four teenagers survive deep in the heart of the Wildlands?

Featured Reviews
Young teenagers are on the run and end up in the wilderness and they’re all arguing and fighting amongst themselves. All of them were damaged emotionally and they’re scared of the future. It’s a SciFi YA that does have some trigger warnings and some bad language but it stays PG for the most part if you’re wondering.
The entire story takes place basically with them already in the woods and I got to know each character here and their motivations. Each one will be challenged in different ways and I thought the author did a good job explaining the place. The end had some twists that were surprising and I feel like it will really take off with book 2.
