Prologue

They speak of themselves as the “kinds” and there are many. They are the ones that think and speak, unlike the beasts. Some take to the skies and some in the waters but the most roam on land. They speak of each other, though some do not believe in anything other than themselves. Of the most interest were the elves for the secrets they held where they lived in the great trees of the old forest.

A secret that could mean the end of their species it might be too much for Johan to keep. But is it worse for him to tell?

Johan never believed the enemy was real. Now that they’ve entered the forest it means their worst fears have come true. It could be an omen of something even worse? With only one other he can trust, Johan can’t leave the safety of their village to the leaders who have their own secrets. Johan must face his greatest fears and failures if he is to save the ones he loves.
