8Exiled to his home village because of forbidden love, Stian, a soldier serving the High Lord of Bel Arus, finds his world changing in fundamental ways. In the forest primeval beings stalk amongst the trees, while normally solitary creatures begin gathering in the gloom. And a mysterious woman appears, whose connection to him runs deep into his soul. Betrayed by the ones he once served and beset by foes all around, will Stian discover who he can trust, and who his true enemy is? Andrew Huck has been writing and telling stories ever since he was a small child. In his free time, he enjoys reading, painting, and drawing, though his true passion is the creation of epic tales that sweep the reader away into fantastical worlds where they can escape from the rigors of the natural world for a time, hopefully catching a glimpse of something greater that all can aspire toward.
