Description
Warrior’s words, a Thunder’s words, words 12-year-old Hermium Goodspeed never imagined himself saying.
In The Seven Thunders: Rise of the Twinkling Heir, scrawny, cerebral amateur tinkerer, Hermium isn’t cut out to be a soldier—so he’s stunned when he receives a red letter to the most elite magic-military academy in the Thunderlands.
At the grand fortress of Glimmeroc, Hermium is faced with the grueling training to join the ranks of the airjocks, who defend the skies with the help of their magical flying suits.
In this place where he felt he’d never belong, Hermium discovers that he is heir to a secret destiny. Hermium must face what hunts him to uncover the truth of his past.
When the armies of light and darkness meet on the battlefield, only Hermium can tip the scales.
