Perfect for fans of The Legend of Korra, Truthwitch, and A Sorcery of Thorns, this magical new fantasy will leave readers desperate for more. Ice is in her blood. Eighteen-year-old Waterrunner Eira Landan lives her life in the shadows - the shadow of her older brother, of her magic's whispers, and of the person she accidentally killed. She's the most unwanted apprentice in the Tower of Sorcerers until the day she decides to step out and compete for a spot in the Tournament of Five Kingdoms. Pitted against the best sorcerers in the Empire, Eira fights to be one of four champions. Excelling in the trials has its rewards. She's invited to the royal court with the "Prince of the Tower," discovers her rare talent for forbidden magic, and at midnight, Eira secretly meets with a handsome elfin ambassador. But, Eira soon learns, no reward is without risk. As she comes into the spotlight, so too do the skeletons of a past she hadn't even realized was haunting her. Eira went into the trials ready for a fight. Ready to win. She wasn't ready for what it would cost her. No one expected the candidates might not make it out with their lives. A Trial of Sorcerers is the first book in a brand new, young adult, epic fantasy for readers who love stories involving: sorcerer competitions, slow-burn romance, adventures to distant lands, and elemental magic. **A TRIAL OF SORCERERS is set in the Air Awakens universe, but is it's own unique story. Readers new to the universe can start here!**

I LOVED THIS BOOK!
And I am so grateful that I got to read an ARC of it - after reading “A Deal with the Elf King” I fell in love with Elise's writing style and she did not disappoint with this book. It was everything that I expected and more. If you want to dive into a great fantasy book that will have you hooked from the very first few pages, grab this one and start reading!
Everything about this book made me want to keep reading and reading. I finished it it one day. The magic system is incredible, the descriptive passages made me feel like I was part of the Tournament, that I was in Eira's shoes, fighting to win.
Eira's personality is amazing and she's such a strong and beautiful character. She doesn't let anyone take her down, not even her family. She knows that she is worthy and she doesn't back down when it comes to proving it.
The plot twists are amazing and they MADE. ME. SCREAM. I need the next book right now, because I need to know what will happen next.
I was SO into it for the first part, with the bookish heroine and the trials, then the love triangle bit in the middle part of the book made me consider it a 3-star, but then the end happened and bumped it up a star. Excited for the second book now!
