Publisher Description
What if there's more to climate change that just the weather?
The centuries-old warnings of the Forest Prophets have fallen on deaf ears. Caorran, the capital city, turns its back on the Forest, refusing to acknowledge the environmental crisis.
Journalists R'chelle and Jacotan thought their documentary on climate change would be a routine assignment — until they stumble upon the Eve of Battle, an ancient warrior rune.
Caorran's hostility toward the Forest Prophets takes a turn for the worse with the arrival of Mar-Kryn, high priestess of the Forest, who harbors a secretive mission of her own.
A teenage runaway, hounded by the Desert Spirits, seeks asylum in the troubled capital. She could be the key to the Eve of Battle.
Or a pawn of what lurks Below.

If Stephen King and Diana Galbadon Had a Book-Baby
Terrifically terrifying!
I love the strong female characters, with my favorite being Creya. The Big Bad in this book is truly horrifying. The ending is satisfying, like the ending of any book or movie (Princess Bride or Holes) where things play out in a way that leaves you feeling ok about the world.
If you are brave enough to face Kane's reanimated, talking corpse you can rest assured that you will sleep again. After a few nights.
I would recommend this novel for readers of Stephen King who like to explore urban scenes. Fans of "It" might love this book though there aren't any clowns.
Fans of Diana Gabaldon will also like the Druidic-type, Northern Scotland feel. Just be prepared for less sexy and more spooky.
