THE TREES THEY GROW

Waking in the dead of night, Charadin, the crown prince of Kyear, finds his sister missing and a servant dead. As he journeys into the dangerous Dark Forest to find his beloved sister, he is forced to accept the guidance of a volatile wanderer, Ayara, whose past and motives are both shrouded in mystery. As the pair embark on their journey, they find that the darkness runs much deeper than a kidnapped girl, and their parts to play are far more significant than simple rescuers. Ageless rulers, murderous Elementals, and forgotten forest dwellers will mark their path as they try to find the stolen princess, uncovering ancient secrets of the world they thought they knew.
