Desperate for a solution, Bea and Cad seek out the help of a water spirit known as Lorgon, whose ancient wisdom may help them find a way to take down Kest and save Irpa from utter destruction.n nBut when their time with Lorgon presents more questions than answers, Bea and Cad must decide what's more important... stopping Kest or uncovering the truth.n nPraise for Lightfall: The Girl and the Galduriann nKirkus Best Books of 2020n nFall 2020 Indie Next Listn nJunior Library Guild Selectionn n2021 Texas Library Association's Little Maverick Graphic Novels Reading List Selectionn
