In a world full of mages, her magic is unique. Appearing later than normal, and in ways nobody expected, Aili never got the usual childhood every other child did. Without magic lessons to fill her time, she learned other skills, like how to survive in the forest and how to read Ancient. Once her magic is discovered and recognized, Aili starts a new life full of adventure. Her magic teacher leads a group call the Scouts, who guard the forests and wild places. Travelling with him as he goes places most mages never see, Aili learns to control her magic and care for nature in new ways. Life in the forest isn't quiet, though. Dark magic lurks in the shadows. Join Aili as she confronts what happens when magic goes wrong. From forest fires and magical plagues to technology powered by forbidden magic, and even stolen artifacts with immense magical powers, Aili and the Scouts will protect the forests from it all. This collection contains all five Forest Guardian books, and as a bonus, The Last Dragon is included as well.
