Lindsey Stirling's books
Eagle's Guard (Eagle Rider Saga #1)
“Well, enjoy your afternoon in the real world,” said Aiden, giving her a big grin. “I’m going for an adventure.”
Seventeen year old Aiden has done what few others ever achieve: he has taught himself to wield the eighteen magical runes. He dreams of adventure, yet he feels trapped in his life as a cloakmaker’s apprentice. Then one day, amidst the flames of a burning building, Aiden has a chance encounter with an Eagle Rider—one of the elite magical guardians of the kingdom. When the Eagle Riders go missing, Aiden finds himself caught up in a conspiracy surrounding a long dead wizard. Untrained and torn apart from his family, Aiden must embark on a journey in the hope of rescuing the few people powerful enough to save them all.
Eagle's Path (Eagle Rider Saga #2)
“You can never know what lies down the path until you fly it.”
The dark wizard Sorcier has returned. Wielding twisted versions of the eighteen magical runes, his army advances quickly across the land, hunting down all who support the deposed King. Aiden is desperate to fight the rising darkness alongside the weakened Eagle Riders. When they forbid him from flying again, he and Iolair look for a different path. Tristan leads the Feather Guard, yet in the wake of Aiden’s decision, he is torn between following orders or helping his friends. Meanwhile, Branwyn, a simple baker’s daughter, contends for her place in a world of warriors and wizards. As Sorcier renews his strength, Aiden and his friends race to reunite their people before it’s too late.
