The Emberwood
is waking.

The Emberwood Chronicles is a four-book fantasy adventure set in a New Zealand-inspired world where a floating city guards its history, an ancient forest remembers what people have forgotten—and one fourteen-year-old boy hears his name being called from among the trees.

Kahu Raukura has spent his life beneath Aorere, the magnificent city suspended above Waimako Bend. Aorere is orderly, powerful and very certain of the story it tells about itself.

The Emberwood knows another story.

When Kahu is drawn beyond the safe paths, he discovers living roots, impossible guardians and memories that should never have been erased. With sharp-eyed Rina, practical Tama and one remarkably stubborn little bird beside him, he must uncover what lies beneath the city’s carefully preserved history.

Across four books, the journey leads from the waking forest to a falling city, beneath the soil into a sky that should not exist, and finally towards a lantern capable of returning stolen names and divided memories.
