Five Elements is a middle-grade urban fantasy trilogy by Dan Jolley, published by HarperCollins. The series is set in San Francisco, where Gabe Conway and his friends stumble upon an ancient map that binds each of them to a different type of elemental magic: earth, water, fire, and air.
Armed with these powers but still learning to control them, the group faces the Eternal Dawn, a dangerous cult that wants to harness elemental magic for its own purposes. The books have drawn comparisons to Rick Riordan’s work for their blend of mythology, modern settings, and fast-paced adventure. Each installment raises the stakes as the friends grow into their abilities and uncover more about the history behind the elemental forces.
