Alosha introduced readers to Ali Warner, a typical American teenager who discovered that she really does have the magical powers young people often dream about. With the help of her human and non-human friends, Ali defeated the elves and dwarves who were preparing to attack the Earth, but she knows this was only one battle in a long war. Now, in The Shaktra, Ali must travel to the elemental world: to search for her missing mother, to reclaim more of her own spectacular powers, and to learn what the Shaktra, a source of true evil, really is and how it might be defeated. Her friends Steve and Cindy encounter new evils here on Earth. Someone makes the ultimate sacrifice, while on the elemental world, Ali helps a dragon gain his wings and learns powerful lessons about love, leadership, and war.Pike, Christopher is the author of 'Shaktra ' with ISBN 9780765310996 and ISBN 0765310996.
