the great forest of Verdu Bardu. The vast woods sheltered her peaceful village home, Hearthwood, from the outer world of Druindin. The village's natural walls had only been breached once when Tamalia and her sister Sasha were mysteriously left as foundling babes to be discovered by wise Old Adelia. She became their spirit mother, raising and guiding them to their recent elevation as young women.

Then everything changed.

When Tamalia and Sasha meet a mysterious stranger, their lives and all that they believe true is upended. Warnings of an evil threat entering the forest, revelations about their mother, and a burdensome destiny are laid before them. Though frightened and confused, the sisters soon find themselves fighting to save their home. They discover they are not alone in their struggle as secrets are revealed about those closest to them.

Even far away in the northern lands of Druindin, others aid their cause. Two sorcerers bound and empowered by their love for one another seek the source of evil that has beset Verdu Bardu. Only Trellor Faecrux can enter Bereft Bardu, the Barren Wall, a dark and corrupt forest where a secret hidden power resides. Can his beloved soul sorcerer, Santor Foculus, still protect him from afar?

As their stories unfold within these woods of light and darkness, one thing becomes clear. The evil approaching seeks out one from the Foundling Prophecy the champion promised to save Druindin's forests, the one named Woodspun.
