Kelcie Murphy and the Race for the Reaper's Key

The epic and action-packed conclusion to the Kelcie Murphy series, winner of the Sunshine Young Reader Awards.

Monsters Rise. Enemies Gather. The Never-ending War rages on.

Kelcie Murphy and her friends are determined to stop the war, once and for all. But with monsters attacking the Lands of Summer and Winter, peace seems more out of reach than ever.

And deep in the Abyss, an ancient evil, once thought defeated, is preparing an apocalyptic attack.

There is only one person who can stop him: his heir, Kelcie herself.

Erika Lewis grew up in Virginia, where she spent most of her childhood riding her dirt bike through Fort Ward. She resides in the sunshine state of California. When she’s not at her laptop, she’s usually playing with her big fluffy golden retriever, running, or at one of the bookstores or comic shops by her house. And always drinking coffee. Kelcie Murphy and the Academy for the Unbreakable Arts is her middle-grade debut.
