Vis in magia, in vita vi. In magic there is power, and in power, life.

For fifteen years, Lark Ainsley waited for the day when her Resource would be harvested and she would finally be an adult. After the harvest she expected a small role in the regular, orderly operation of the City within the Wall. She expected to do her part to maintain the refuge for the last survivors of the Wars.

Into the Iron Wood

Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Skylark is an electrifying tale of magic, secrecy and survival.

For fifteen years, Lark Ainsley believed in a lie. Now she must escape the only world she's ever known ...
