A Splintered Kingdom
An ancient grudge has kept humans and the magical races of Arcanis at odds for centuries. The Arcane Crucible, a legendary series of trials that occurs every 25 years, offers a chance for peace.
A Haunted Warrior
Elyria Lightbreaker, once a celebrated fae war hero, is a shadow of her former self. Drowning in grief after losing the man she loved to the previous Crucible, now she must rise to stop his sister from falling to the same fate.
A Vengeful Knight
Hardened by loss and fueled by hate, Cedric Thorne’s lifelong goal to conquer the Crucible on humanity’s behalf is finally within reach. The only problem? Getting through the trials alive means working with Elyria—the very fae he blames for his parents’ deaths.
An Unwinnable Challenge
With alliances fragile as spun glass and betrayal lurking at every turn, Elyria and Cedric must navigate deadly trials that test their strength, spirit, and magic… as well as their increasingly complex feelings for each other.
This is the Arcane Crucible.
A Burgeoning Peace
Two realms sit on the edge—not only of the physical chasms that divide them, but of the fragile truce forged between Arcanians and humans in the wake of the Arcane Crucible.
​
A Shadow Unleashed
​
Elyria Lightbreaker may have survived the Celestial Sanctum, but she remains haunted by all that occurred, all that she did, within. Determined to reclaim the Crown of Concord and unmask the dark sorcerer behind its theft, she must master her own inner darkness if she’s to survive the journey ahead—and untangle the dangerous feelings pulling her toward Cedric.
​
A Victor Unmoored
​
Cedric Thorne sacrificed everything to conquer the trials. Now, burdened by a power he cannot control and truths he refuses to face, he finds himself in a kingdom splintering beneath the surface—and bound to Elyria by something he cannot, will not, sever. But some secrets are meant to stay buried, and uncovering them could be the key to lasting peace... or the spark that ends it.
​
A Bond Reforged
​
As twin victors of the Crucible, Elyria and Cedric soon learn there are many roles they must play in the pursuit of a new Arcanis. With enemies lurking in plain sight, they will have to fight with a whole new array of weapons, all the while trying to understand the bond that thrums between them: reforged, rekindled, renewed.
Now the real game begins.
TERRESTRIALS: THE COMPLETE DUOLOGY
Re-releasing June 5th, 2025
​
A world split in two. A mysterious stranger. A discovery that will change everything.
After a brutal, sweeping plague decimated the Earth, the world is split in two. Above, the elite live in opulent skycities, while those who remain on the ground—terrestrials—struggle in settlements strewn across the dying planet.
Eighteen-year-old Terra Rhodon ekes out a meager living as a scav, scouring the earth for skycity scraps and doing whatever it takes to keep her younger brother safe. But when a routine scavenging run uncovers a dangerous secret—and an even more dangerous skydweller—Terra finds herself pulled into a conspiracy that could shatter everything she thought she knew about the world, her family, and herself.
TERRESTRIALS brings together both books of Gretchen Powell Fox’s YA dystopian sci-fi duology—Terra and Underground—for the first time. Perfect for fans of The Hunger Games, Divergent, Shatter Me, and The Lunar Chronicles.
