Eon's Door should not be open.
Two thousand years after three clans flee the world of humans through Eon's Door to find sanctuary in a realm called Erla, a prophecy left to them by the ancient race that created the tree portal is coming true. A trusted sage has stolen the portal's key and is using the awesome power that separated the worlds to tear apart the very soul of Nature. The key must be taken back and Eon's Door closed--before it's too late.
Hope lies with a "child of doubt" from the world the clans left behind and the courageous young Erlan who's been sent to find him. Together they must retrieve the key and close Eon's Door. It won't be easy. Abominations of beasts and trees stand between them and their goal. Even worse, the sage knows the prophecy and is expecting them.
Eon's Door is a powerful and uplifting tale of friendship and sacrifice. Full of action and mystery, and with a surprising twist, it is an exciting and thoughtful page turner that is sure to thrill fantasy lovers of all ages.
Excerpt
A large black crow landed in front of him, its feathers rising and falling as it cawed loudly. Its head turned to reveal an eye that was intelligent and aware. The bird seemed to recognize him and showed no fear at being so close to a human. A hand touched his shoulder. Turning, Bobby met the face of an old man with hair and beard as white as snow. Shorter than Bobby, he stood hunched, leaning on a polished wooden cane. The old man’s eyes were swirling silver pools that pulled at the boy’s consciousness. A voice came from the stranger, but his lips didn’t move.
The ancient kings of Whitehawk were all too aware of the temptation of magic. They could feel its threat, a presence in their courts, a serpent slithering at their feet, even entering into their beds.
