Seventeen-year-old Behler has spent her life in the Midowlands, unaware that she is being kept far from the truth of who she is. When a sudden act of violence drives her from her home, she must flee into the nearby ancient forest and to a secret village hidden deep within. There, surrounded by people she has never met yet somehow feels connected to, Behler begins to uncover the secrets that have shaped her life.
Ardin is home to the Trulars, a people bound to an ancient duty to protect all that is from a parasitic darkness known as the Armigoth. As Behler settles uneasily into the rhythms of the village, she is confronted with the reality that she is not just an outsider brought in for safety. She is part of Ardin's legacy-connected to its people, its history, and the mysterious force known as the Thread that binds life across worlds.
When the Armigoth's influence reaches even Ardin's borders, Behler's quiet introduction to the village becomes a reckoning. Guided by new allies and burdened by her growing role, she must learn who the Trulars really are and who she is to become.
Children of Elium, the first book in The Trular Chronicles, follows Behler's journey into a world of ancient guardians, interwoven destinies, and a darkness that has waited generations for her arrival.
