Valdra

When eight-year-old Astrid stumbles into the magical world of Valdra, she must join forces with a loyal warrior to find the missing Guardians and defeat an evil sorcerer — discovering along the way that imagination is the greatest power of all, and that even an ordinary girl can become a hero.

Eight-year-old Astrid is spending another summer at the family cabin with her football-obsessed brothers and boring parents when she discovers a portal to Valdra — a magical realm of enchanted forests, strange creatures, and ancient powers. There she meets Arvik, a warrior fighting to protect Valdra from a growing darkness corrupting the realm and transforming its Guardians into monsters. Unable to return home without the Guardians’ help, Astrid joins Arvik and his rebels on a dangerous journey across Valdra. Along the way, she trains to fight, befriends mythological creatures and gains new abilities and magical items. When Astrid’s human identity is revealed, she is cast out and returns home — only to discover that the darkness has followed her and kidnapped her brothers. Armed with her mother’s legendary sword, Astrid must return to Valdra and save both worlds.
