The Words of the Wandering

In The Words of the Wandering, the third book in the Croswald Series, Ivy’s power grows and so does the Dark Queen’s intent to destroy her. Traveling far and wide, and even into the past, Ivy strains to discover the powers that brought the Queen into an everlasting reign and what her own role might be.

Ivy follows a series of hidden clues to a magical circus, where illusion and spells collide. An old adversary turns over a new leaf, but Ivy isn’t sure if she can trust her. Then a trusted protector reveals themselves to be an evil beyond imagining. Ivy must remain true to her mission and herself, all while discovering new magic and innovating with old spells. Can Ivy recover what was lost on a high-speed dragon chase above Croswald? The stakes have never been higher.

Curious and whimsical, shy and brave, Ivy leans into her relationships, and even encounters a bit of romance. Her unique magic allows her to develop skills that more experienced scrivenists struggle to master.

For those who wished that Narnia, Harry Potter, and Alice in Wonderland could go on forever, Croswald opens a whole new world of magic. Recommended as a read-aloud for families and an independent middle-grade fantasy read, The Crowns of Croswald is an award-winning, four-book series that will carry readers to a whimsical world that they won’t want to leave.
