The Binding Trials Books

The discovery of a strange elemental will change everything for Lathan. Lathan spends his days chasing elementals, hoping to bind only a fragment of their power. When he finds a unique elemental he’s long sought, he thinks fate is finally on his side. Then the deadly Derithan attack. Lathan must stay ahead of them to protect himself and his friends. Outrunning them isn’t enough. To survive, he’ll need to learn truths about the elementals—and about his connection to them.

When the truth about his father changes everything Lathan knows, his search for answers brings only more questions. Having survived the Derithan attack, Lathan must understand his connection to the elementals. There’s a power to them, but first he must find the truths of the elementals long hidden from him. When an ally becomes an enemy, Lathan must act quickly. The elementals are in danger. If he doesn’t learn to use his connection to bind the elementals, the Derithan will claim their prize. And the elementals will be destroyed.

Now that Lathan has released his father, the true danger emerges. Having learned that his father is a shadow elemental, Lathan has released him. That is only the beginning. When everything Lathan knows is destroyed, he must find his way to answers, only he’s not ready for what he finds.

With the Sacred Mother defeated, now the true battle begins. Having returned to find his villagers safe, Lathan thinks to evacuate back to the kingdom. Henash has brought reinforcements, but they question the legitimacy of the danger the Sacred Mother poses. When the Derithan attack forces them back to the city, hope for a rapid departure fades. Now, they have to find a way past—but they can only do that if Lathan comes to understand his true potential in time. He must find out whether he is meant to control the elements or if he’s meant to be an elemental like his father. And the decision may determine the fate of everyone.
