Welcome to the Shade.
In the small town of Beaver Hollow, West Virginia, forester Mark Steele has experienced the same reoccurring vision since he was a boy − one that foreshadows a towering tree, menacing premonitions and his own suffocating demise. Tess McCoy is a former captain in the United States Army, harbors a debilitating secret and can't get far enough from her mountain roots to save her life.
When a mystifying accident takes the life of Tess' younger brother, a series of preternatural events are set into motion, propelling the former lovers from the oak-lined streets of the sleepy West Virginia town to an impenetrable hidden fortress within German-occupied France to the ever-changing seasons of an aberrant land − a wondrous otherworld called the Shade. Here, within this tethered realm, they discover an ageless war between two fabled brothers and the terrifying pact made in the closing days of World War II − a pact that will ultimately bring destruction to modern day America.
The Solstice Treaty has an eco-bent and blends accessible fantasy, European folklore, and the fighting men of the Greatest Generation. The novel audaciously crosses the standard genres and engages readers with a fresh voice − one that weaves the familiar with the preternatural.
"For those of you looking for fantasy-with-a-difference, Belltower delivers the goods." --Nancy A. Collins, award-winning author of Right Hand Magic
