An action-packed dystopian adventure series set in the near-future, post-melt Arctic

The last ice cap has melted, and the world is on the brink of collapse. A deadly force―Terra Electrica―has been unleashed. It feeds on electricity. It is infecting humanity. 

In this chaotic, rapidly changing reality, 12-year-old Mani has lost her family and community to the Terra Electrica. Armed only with some ancestral wisdom and a powerful, ancient wooden mask she was never meant to inherit so soon, she suddenly finds herself responsible for the fate of the world. 

Can Mani piece everything together and harness her newfound powers in time to save humanity?
