DraftDash: Auberon Academy (Book Two)
Just found out about this so lets go!
Auberon Academy: In Pursuit of Knowledge is the second book in the Auberon series. While me and my boyfriend/editor are working on polishing up book one so I can start to query it, I've been working on book two and have about six chapters left!
The book follows a quartet of protagonists through their individual storylines as they keep secrets, make discoveries, and try to survive in a world on the verge of war.
- Christie Nutter is an eleven-year-old girl who's just been hit with a double-whammy of sadness: she's found out she's magic-averse, and her friend and roommate just disappeared. A month later with no progress, the school hires a new investiagor, Arthur Garland, to take over the case, and Christie is determined to help.
- Ashton Alamilla is a new protagonist to book two, a Sivonese hunter living in a tiny town on the Foldra Mountains. He has a peaceful, quiet life, until a wayward cursebreaker, Sutton Senft, stumbles into a hunting trap. Sutton ropes him into joining them on their quest to find Adakoi's missing king, Genesis Eldridge, and the two embark on a perilous journey over the mountain range.
- Addison Garland is the recently not-so-deceased fiancé of the princess, still in his faux-exile after taking the blame for her manifestation. After a month in the wilderness with the missing princess, Bella, he returns to Port Mimslow and resumes his new normal, slowly reintroducing Bella to civilization, ignorant to the consequences of his actions.
- Rosamund Eldridge is the heiress to the throne, set to ascend in less than a year, and is still reeling from the discovery that her own mother had her cursed. Amidst their strife, she tries to reign in her magic, discover the truth behind the dark prophecy that her kingdom will fall, and prevent the war her mother is so desperate to start.
Excited to do this challenge!!
