Overview

The most beautiful music comes from strings that risk being broken.Elias Reed returns to the Golden Valley with his growing company of allies-Mara Ironheart, Thorne Silverwind, and Briar Bronzefield-only to find his childhood home ravaged by a blight worse than when he left. The valley's renowned orchards and vineyards are dying, and with them, the livelihoods of everyone he once knew. Lira Goldensong, a gifted musician whose songs can temporarily halt the blight, has been fighting a losing battle against the decay. Her music creates powerful connections between people and the land, but she keeps everyone at a comfortable distance, using charm to mask her fear of true attachment after losing her mother years ago. The attraction between Elias and Lira is immediate and powerful, but complicated by their families' generations-old feud. As they work together to heal the valley's heart, they discover that genuine connection requires vulnerability-the very thing both have spent years avoiding. The golden fragment-a flute that can influence growth and emotions-will only reveal its magic when Lira learns that real power comes not from performance, but from authentic expression. Meanwhile, the Blight Walker makes his most direct move yet, and Ash the wolf begins to reveal more of her mysterious nature. *The Golden Trial* stands at the heart of the Seven Trials of Meridian series, weaving together threads of adventure, romance, and personal growth as Elias and his companions reach the midpoint of their quest to save Meridian. The Seven Trials of Meridian is a series of fables showcasing the practical life aspects of the Art of Life series of books by Travis C. Steel.
