Young adult
Sixteen-year-old Erica Brooks longs for adventure, acceptance, and answers — especially about the mysterious power she keeps hidden, even from herself.
When she is suddenly transported to the enthralling world of Aqouril, Erica discovers an extraordinary ability to control water — an ancient power that marks her for something far greater than she ever imagined.
To master her gift and uncover the secrets of Aqouril, Erica must face a series of harrowing trials that test her courage, strain her friendships, and push her to her limits.
Gripping, heartfelt, and brimming with magic, The Trials of Aqouril is a spellbinding journey of bravery, transformation, and self-discovery.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
I Initially applied to read this book because I absolutely love anything with a trial and competition. And this book did not disappoint. Although the beginning of the book had a slower pace it rapidly picked up as the plot progressed. The character Erica really grew and kept me engaged in the story as I was rooting for her success the whole time. Overall I think it is a great book and is perfect for young adults!!
Interesting fantasy style book about Erica needing to go through trails ,, I love fantasy type books with great storylines and world building like this 💕
Hello!!! This book was so stunning in every way i absolutely loved this book the characters and the character building was everything i needed in a book i loved how this was all about water powers I have never read a book with those powers before. I loved how this book was written too and the author was absolutely amazing he’s the sweetest person ever!
Personally after a slow start it was a real page turner, I was sucked into the world of Aqouril full of adventure. I really enjoyed reading this book & it was easy to follow along, well paced & loved the characters. It's well written & I could imagine it easily. I can't wait to follow on to the sequel, with it being a YA fantasy after telling my 12 year old who loves a good book he's next in line to read it! ✨ I am so grateful when E.S David reached out & asked if I would like to read his debut novel. After a description of the storyline it sounded something I would enjoy! 😊
This!!! Oh wow, what an incredible debut and hopefully an incredible start to what I feel would make an EXCELLENT series! This book gave me all sorts of feels! I loved the story. I couldn't put this down at all. The cover is gorgeous, and I love the various shades of blue. They pop right off! The writing is excellent and flows so well. It's definitely more than appropriate for the young adults of the world. I really enjoyed the world-building, and E.S. did this with such excellent execution. Aquoril sounds breathtaking! The characters were so good and each had their own stories that can be told, I think. Erica was great. She was so versatile and adaptable. If she doesn't inspire a generation of young adults, then I don't know who will! If you want rich and imaginative read next, then give this a go! You won't be disappointed!
