Escape to Loma<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Loma is a land where everyone has magical abilities, but it isn’t considered special. Not only do people have magic, but so do many of the plants and animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wind family lives in a country called The Cragwoods. The country is covered with wild forests, steep mountains, and an almost overwhelming number of dangerous animals. Their village is called Westvale. It’s deep in the forest, and people have built treehouses and raised paths through the huge trees. Their whole community is in the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the adventures of Caes Wind and others as they deal with adulthood, choosing an occupation, magic, and tragedy. The Wind series is Gary Halleen’s first set of fiction books.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
