Island of Fire
Book 3 of the The Unwanteds series
480 pages · First published 2014
Artimé’s magic has vanished, leaving the Unwanteds without food, water, or the enchanted refuge they once called home. Everyone looks to Alex Stowe for answers, but his new responsibilities feel overwhelming when he cannot even restore the world around him. His friends remain prisoners on another island, and a cruel necklace of thorns has stolen Megan’s voice. As Alex searches for a solution, two silent newcomers may offer unexpected help, while his twin brother Aaron builds an army in Quill. This third Unwanteds adventure combines imaginative magic, dangerous rescues, and an uncertain young leader learning to trust his friends. Pick this up when you’re in the mood for imaginative magic, dangerous rescues, and an underdog learning to lead when hope feels out of reach.
