The Bronze Trial: The Seven Trials of Meridian: Book Three

**Some storms rage outside. Others rage within.**The quest for the seven fragments continues as Elias Reed, Mara Ironheart, and Thorne Silverwind journey to the Bronze Plateau, where dust storms have begun destroying the terraced crops that feed much of Meridian. There they seek Briar Bronzefield, a farmer whose emotional control has helped her lead her community through countless hardships. Since her parents' death in a landslide years ago, Briar hasn't shed a single tear. Her stoicism has made her a pillar of strength, enabling her to raise her siblings and maintain their farm through disasters that would break others. But as Elias and his companions discover, her suppressed emotions are literally manifesting in the weather-the more she denies her grief, the worse the dust storms become. When a particularly violent storm forces them to take shelter in Briar's childhood home, painful memories surface that she can no longer ignore. With the plateau's crops failing and her community looking to her for leadership, Briar must learn that true strength comes not from denying emotions, but from acknowledging them. The bronze fragment-a pendant containing soil from the first harvest-will only reveal its power when Briar reconciles her past with her future. But the Blight Walker's influence grows stronger with each territory that falls into chaos, and his agents have infiltrated the plateau's leadership. *The Bronze Trial* is the third book in the Seven Trials of Meridian series, a story about finding balance between stoic endurance and emotional truth-and how acknowledging our pain can become the foundation for healing. The Seven Trials of Meridian is a series of fables showcasing the practical life aspects of the Art of Life series of books by Travis C. Steel.
