Embla Wilde – Beneath the Roots
You think you know where this is going. You are wrong.
The hameshifters are a secret society of animals that take on human shape, and live among us without our knowing. In fact, anyone you meet could be an animal in disguise – a wolf, a deer, a rat or maybe a cockroach. The battle for power between species can be ferocious, even deadly.
13-year-old Embla Wilde knows nothing of this. She lives a miserable life in a dull neigbourhood with her insufferable older sister who wants to be an influencer and parents who always interfere.
Embla has never heard of the hameshifter society, of their hidden cities in the Wilderness, or of Wilding, the magical force that makes nature obey them. But Embla has always felt that something about her is … different. That all starts to make sense when the hameshifters show up to tell her she is one of them.
In the second volume, Beneath the Roots, Embla’s hameshifter powers finally awakens and she’s enrolled in a magical hameshifter school. When the rats return to the Wilderness after years of exile and a search for a mysterious thief, Embla and her friends uncovers a hidden world deep underground, ruled by lawless vermin. A plan is in motion to shift the balance of power in the Wilderness, and Embla is not the only creature hunting in the dark.
