Book Description
There's a whisper in the forest. Are you listening? Deep in the forest, lost and found amongst the trees, Juniper Tiernan seeks refuge from the world. Safe from the unpredictability of humanity, she finds comfort in her solitude beneath the shelter of the trees. After years of splitting her time between the real world and her earth-made sanctuary, she discovers her connection with nature has taken a strange turn. When the trees begin to speak, her logic suspects lunacy while her heart craves more. She desperately wants to believe the voices are real and recruits the ear of her friend Roscoe, an Olympic National Park ranger, who cannot hear the voices and deems her claims impossible. But as time passes the trees' grim prophecies come to fruition and Juniper's claims appear validated. Roscoe is forced to question his initial doubts and both are thrust into undesired roles of responsibility. The world as they know it is shifting and if the whispered predictions are correct, all life on Earth will be shattered. Though the trees guide her to safety, persuading others to follow is a challenge. Unsure how to proceed and ensure the survival of her loved ones, she does all she can to convince them to accompany her to the Hall of Mosses. With fierce determination and a resolute trust in nature, Juniper marches toward an uncertain fate.

Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
The world is blanketed in ash. Gaia is gone, but she left specific instructions for the Champions with each of their corresponding elements. With careful timing and placement, she has orchestrated the perfect rebirth for Earth. Her magic is set to let the planet heal at a proper pace and her faith is placed in the Champions for a graceful resurrection of humanity. Little do they realize, they are not alone and a grave opposition is buried beneath the ruins. While the Champions and their followers were the only humans meant to endure the purge, pockets of unintended survivors manage to slip beneath the radar of Gaia's rage. Buried beneath the ash, they emerge months after the fallout, confused and determined to rebuild. Their goals do not align with that of nature and their presence in the new world will be a test of the Champions' resolve. Can they unite and join forces for the greater good? Or will their opposing outlooks for the rebuild of Earth cause tragic tensions? Though the Champions evolve rapidly into their elements with the help of Gaia's magic, it may not be enough to stop the force of all those who awoke, scorned and betrayed, beneath fields of ashes.
