For generations, the legend has been whispered on the wind: the Sword of the Seventh Summer, a blade forged from pure sunlight, appears only to a seventh child in their seventh summer. For ten-year-old Gabriella, a girl with scraped knees and a heart full of wonder, the legend is more than just a story. When her tenth birthday dawns, a mysterious pull leads her into an ancient forest on a quest she never imagined. Guided by maps made of sunbeams and clues from mischievous river sprites, Gabriella must journey through whispering woods and forgotten valleys.
