North Star Rising
Soul-gem

 Amber Emrys is coming of age. She lives on the mystical isle of T’ir Na Nor in the North Sea. Preparations for her Nest Naming Celebration are in the works. Pavarotti, a Puffin who has been “Guardian of the air” on the island for centuries, has watched over Amber as she’s grown from chick to fledgling. On her adventures, Amber braves trolls, befriends fantastical beasts, beguiles hooligans, outwits malevolent creatures of the earth and sea, and discovers buried secrets about herself and her Ma’s family. This is a tale filled with fun, whimsy, twists, tears, magic, music, and heart for YA readers and friends and family of all ages.
