Death of the Tree Path

Their healer has died. Their forest is dying. They refused to leave … even when soldiers came to take their land.

Riekalt has been a grim man since the death of his wife, the village healer. She gave her life to save the village. He can hardly sleep. Is it her he keeps hearing at night?

When soldiers come from Gweidor to take their land, the villagers of Wolfshead Hill begin to know the end has come.

They claim to come in peace, and offer gold. But they come with a trail of corpses in their wake.

There is one desperate hope left to the village. Riekalt's only son Laester begins to show glimmers of the powers that claimed his wife. If he cannot control or suppress the new magic … it might destroy him.

How can Riekalt hope to save his village, if it might mean the life of his son?
