If Bella thought her troubles might be coming to an end when she gained initiation to Yelimoon fairy school, she was wrong. Having failed to prevent Bella from being accepted into the school, Novaq remains determined to have her thrown out, enlisting the help of Ginekei to kidnap her. However, Ginekei isn’t just a threat to Bella—she’s an enemy of the entire Fae civilization, and Bella finds herself in the middle of a war between light and dark, Fae and Trolls. And, as if that wasn’t enough, Bella is getting closer to finding out who she really is. Will she survive this new series of trials?
The second book in the Bella Santini Chronicles, Bella Santini in the Troll War continues the series’ emphasis on emotional intelligence and wellness. Subtly interwoven with the fast-paced adventure are lessons about self-mastery, love, and problem-solving that are sure to be valuable to readers of every age. Bella herself is a relatable, likeable character, and the story is brought to life through digital artwork that is reminiscent of manga illustration. Supplementing the story are valuable resources to support the book’s emphasis on wellness, including exercises, discussion topics, and book club questions.
Bella Santini in the Troll War is a fun mix of adventure and education, and readers who enjoy fantasy adventures are sure to relish it.
