Avatar: The Last Airbender meets The Hunger Games in an award-winning fantasy series!

For 10,000 years, the Trials have been a sacred tradition. Only within a dark and ancient forest can every child of twelve begin to master their elemental gifts. But amidst those fabled woods hide all sorts monstrous creatures, including some with an insatiable thirst for magical power...

Evalina, Daelyn, and Tevaun aren't like most other kids. Their magical gifts are far more dangerous.

Locked away for years by their families, they each dream endlessly of running away. And if the legends they've heard are true, then only within the Ildarwood can they find a way to change their tragic fates.

But when mysterious forces inside the forest intervene to set them free, they quickly discover why so few children ever return from the Trials within. Hunted by soul-stealing creatures at every turn, they must seek out new allies and fight their way through the Ildarwood for just one chance at a brighter future.

Break free from the constraints of your favorite Magic Academy, and immerse yourself in a dark yet inspirational world with heartwarming characters, diverse cultures, and vast lore. Discover your own elemental alignment alongside Evalina, Daelyn, and Tevaun. And find out who will rise and who will fall in this thrilling prequel adventure!

Fall of the Forsaken takes place twenty-two years before the events of the main series. It provides a quick introduction to the world of the Ildarwood and its unique elemental magic system.

"S.C. Selvyn spins a masterful tale... " - Amazon Reader

"This book is like nothing I have ever read before... " - Goodreads Reviewer

"WOW, wow, wow! This is one amazing book. I can't believe I actually found this story and actually had the privilege to read it." - Amazon Reader

"This is a book that catches you unaware and drags you onto a journey without as much as a say so. All you can do is hang on and enjoy the ride. It's hard to let go of the book, even in your thoughts. Even though I am now reading a different book, my thoughts still go back to Ildarwood and I long to go back and experience it all again." - Amazon Reader

"THIS WAS SO GOOD?! I immediately fell in love with the world. S.C. Selvyn has a very calm and catchy writing style. Sometimes it reminds me of a magical 'children's book' for all ages. There were many messages hidden between the lines and behind the words... I think it can inspire a lot of people if you engage with it. It certainly had that effect on me. I'm just so in love and could go on talking all day, but I'll leave it at that for now. Go read it, my friends. Just go read it yourself. - Goodreads Reviewer

"This book hit home to me in a variety of ways. It's a mission of four children dealing with things that were very much so present in my childhood and even still to this day. Chase your dreams, hold onto them and go your own path no matter what obstacles are thrown in your way." - Goodreads Reviewer
