An exclusive paperback boxed set of Patrick Carman's best-selling fantasy trilogy. Twelve-year-old Alexa Daley is spending another summer in the town of Bridewell, and she's set on solving the mystery of what lies beyond its walls. Legend says the walls were built to keep out an unnamed evil that lurks in the forests and The Dark Hills. But what exactly are the townspeople afraid of? As Alexa begins to unravel the truth, she discovers a strange enchantment-and exposes a danger that could destroy everything she holds dear. Weaving magic and heroism into a classic tale of good and evil, this extraordinary trilogy takes readers on an unforgettable adventure!
Author
I have been a lifelong writer and storyteller. Salem, Oregon is where I spent my formative years and I graduated from Willamette University. After college, I spent a decade living in Portland, Oregon where I worked in advertising, game design, and technology. I've written young adult and children's books for Scholastic, Little Brown Books For Young Readers and Katherine Tegen Books/ HarperCollins Publishers. I've been fortunate enough to have had some bestselling series work: The Land of Elyon, Atherton, Elliot’s Park, 39 Clues, and Skeleton Creek. Here's a fun note...the books have been translated into approximately two dozen languages. Currently I'm developing a few new-media projects. Check out DARK EDEN to experience this type of cross-platform project. When I'm not writing or creating a story, I spend my free time supporting literacy campaigns and community organizations, fly fishing, playing basketball and tennis, doing crosswords, watching movies, dabbling in video games, reading (lots), and (more than anything else) spending time with my wife and two daughters.
