Escape to Loma
Loma is a land where everyone has minor magical abilities, and they aren’t considered special (since everyone has them). Not only do people have magic, but so do many of the animals.
The Cragwoods is a country in Loma that is covered with wild forests, steep mountains, and an almost overwhelming number of dangerous animals. For this reason, people have built treehouses and paths through the huge trees. Their whole communities are in the trees.
Follow the adventures of Caes Wind and others as they deal with adulthood, magic, and tragedy. The Wind series is Gary Halleen’s first set of fiction books.
