The enchanted land of Coraira has died, preventing entry for twins Asher and Ariana Caine. They are now trapped alone in the realm of ice and snow.
Meanwhile, the wise Ancients have each been stolen by a mysterious cloud. Vengeful Mother Earth has finally decided to fight back against the humans who, under the power of a dark curse, have been abusing her for centuries.
Will the Caine twins make it out of the ice realm alive? Will the heirs of Elora and Larque figure out how to lift the curse? And what will happen if Mother Earth wins?

I've read all of the books in the series and have been impressed by them. Ancient Fall is no exception. This is a fitting end to such an enjoyable series. This book is a lot darker than other books in the series and at times I wondered if it was too dark for children. Thankfully, the balance of light and dark is just right. The characters learn various morals and lessons along the way but this never gets preachy or invasive and is effortlessly woven into the storyline. This was a pleasure to read. I can imagine reading Ancient Fall to happy children. I'm sort of sad the series has ended and wonder what the author will come up with next.
