The next book in the #1 New York Times best-selling Epoca series
from Kobe Bryant and Ivy Claire. As Pretia, the Princess of Epoca,
prepares to return to Ecrof, the elite magical sports academy, she
is focused on the most important part of her upcoming year: the
Junior Epic Games. She knows that her destiny is to rule Epoca, but
right now, all she wants is to be selected for the Junior Epic team
so that she can compete against the best young athletes in Epoca
and bring honor to her people. But as rumors begin to swirl about
unrest surrounding the Games, Pretia realizes that winning might
not be as simple as being the best athlete she can be. She might
have to decide which is more important: being an athlete or being a
leader. Pretia's best friend, Rovi, is ecstatic when he hears that
the Junior Epic Games will be held in Phoenis, where he lived
before attending Ecrof. True, his time in Phoenis wasn't ideal-he'd
lived on the streets as a Star Stealer, part of a gang of kids who
stole what they needed to survive-but he'd found a home there. He's
excited to return as a Dreamer, an athlete at the top of his game.
But all is not well with the Star Stealers. Rovi's old friends are
being blamed for the unrest surrounding the Games, even though he's
sure they have nothing to do with it. Now that he's back in
Phoenis, Rovi is faced with a difficult question: Is he a Dreamer
or a Star Stealer? Can he be both? As tensions mount, Pretia and
Rovi, along with their friend Vera, find themselves in a race to
save the Star Stealers. And they begin to understand that if anyone
is going to make a new future for Epoca, it just might be them.

Academy Award-winning, and New York Times-bestselling storyteller
Kobe Bryant comes a new tale of finding your strength against all
odds. Set in an alternate classical world dominated by sports and a
magical power called grana, Epoca: The Tree of Ecrof is the story
of two children: the lowly born Rovi and the crown princess Pretia
who uncover and battle terrible evil and discover their inner
strength along the way. Epoca: The Tree of Ecrof takes place at the
most elite sports academy in the land, where the best
child-athletes are sent to hone their skills. When Rovi and Pretia
arrive, each harboring a secret about themselves, they begin to
suspect that something evil is at play at the school. In the course
of their first year, they must learn to master their grana in order
to save the world from dark forces that are rising.
