The Manor in the Forest - by Maia Aqui (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Alex Banks has only wanted one thing since her mother died... answers. Answers to the whereabouts of the rest of her family, to her dreams of a burning castle in a familiar forest, or to the many strange encounters she's had with nature. When the quest for answers gets her in trouble, Alex finds herself entering the world of the Patroni, a hidden society spanning all corners of the globe, maintaining the balance between humans and nature. What she doesn't know is that they've been searching for her for ten years. When a bi-annual meeting of the society threatens to go up in flames, Alex must learn to use her powers and decide to accept the role destined for her long before she was born. With the future of the earth at risk...how will she respond?
