About The Wandering Gold By Erin E. Ilagan:
The Wandering Gold is an action packed debut YA Fantasy-Adventure novel set in an Asian-based empire during a war between the Imperials (Fyrrainians) and the assassins in the snowy North (Northerners). The reluctant protagonist is a twelve-year-old girl whose magical healing abilities force her to fight in the war.
Twelve-year-old Riverlei Gold is the only child ever to serve the Emperors of Fyrrain. As a magical Healer–one of less than twenty in existence–Riverlei is chosen to venture to the Northern Frontier where the fighting between the two warring countries of the North and Fyrrain is most intense. With an assassin trained to kill magic-wielders hot on her tail, a betrayal destined to fall when she least expects it, and deadly memories of her family resurfacing, Riverlei must choose between protecting Fyrrain or protecting her secrets.

Author Bio:
Erin’s life-long literary passion was ignited at the early age of 5 by Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, writing her first full-length novel at the age of 10. When she’s not fully immersed in a novel, hunting petrichor, or journaling, she also enjoys competitive climbing and playing the viola. Taking inspiration from 1000’s of devoured books, her own Asian heritage, the works of Joseph Campbell, and fueled by countless bubble teas, The Wandering Gold was written in fulfillment of her 8th grade capstone project at her beloved Linden Waldorf School in Nashville, TN.
