The forest hides a relic in its roots and provokes a perilous quest.
Ceera Kestlyn has spent her life following Semadon’s rules as a dutiful scribe. Then the dreams start—vivid, disturbing, impossible to ignore—and with them comes a summons she can’t refuse. When three men vanish into a forest eerily similar to the one in her dreams, she finally has proof she’s not losing her mind.
She convinces leaders to let her join Dassius Rucien, a member of the Sci-Defense team, to seek counsel from the Archaics. But these keepers of nature’s secrets, who command the elements, are as volatile as they are helpful. Amid these harrowing encounters, Ceera’s dreams intensify, revealing what the forest has been hiding all along—an object that could explain her dreams and thus prove her credibility to Semadon’s leaders. Yet as the forest beckons, it also seems intent on destroying her, for entering the woods could leave her mind as twisted as the trees.
In a world where rivals with clashing politics and ambitions compete for power, Ceera must decide what she’s willing to lose to survive both the risks from home and what the forest conceals.
