The Seven — Karinn Martel

Some say that legends are born. Others say they are made. What if they are both right? Charlie's latest adventures are a lesson in strength and courage as she faces some of her toughest obstacles yet. Stranded far from home, she must make her way back with the help of six other riders who need to keep her safe. Slowed by her mostly human side, the riders do what they must to make sure they get her home in one piece, and even that is a tall order. Along the way, they come across an old weathered tree, which happens to contain the soul of the one Eisald blamed for his sister Conie's death. The girls want him to be free but in order to do so, they must find a way to release his soul and keep it safe. As the casualties pile up and the battle wounds mount, Charlie and the riders find a new friend who holds secrets from a far-gone age. Not only are the Knights of the Realm trying to find them, but so are their enemies, who now number in the hundreds of thousands. Who will reach her first, and will she make it back safely? In the third installment of the Vampires & Chocolate Collection, follow along with Charlie as she tells the story of how she became the person she was meant to be. This is her story. This is her legend.
