The Forest Child

Book 2 of the Door to Eternity "When that which has been lost has returned to that which has waited—the forest child will awaken." A fallen angel has crashed into the mortal realm, and where it struck the earth, the world itself began to die. Corruption spreads. Reality fractures. And Tyreal Val'Rhayne must ride to stop it, without the one weapon that could turn the tide. The Ebonstar. And the woman bound to it. Amriel Vardon's connection to the ancient artifact remains half-forged, unstable, as likely to destroy them as save them. Against a being of celestial Power, she wouldn't last minutes. But refusing to take her means facing a deadly Ancient without the power that might actually kill it. The choice tears at him, but Tyreal makes it anyway. He rides to war. She stays behind. Forty days is all Amriel has to master a weapon that has broken everyone who tried to claim it. Forty days to transform from healer to the warrior the Ebonstar demands, or watch Tyreal ride to his death while she remains powerless to save him. But some prophecies cannot be outrun. And some weapons demand a price no one is willing to pay.
