Son of the Forest - Hardcover

by Jacob Tamlin (Author)

In the land of Brucor, an ancient evil has awakened. Of all mortal beings, only the elf priest Daelrath, a servant of the goddess of love, knows. He receives a chilling vision of the world to come, and must take drastic measures to avert the cataclysm, even if it means sacrificing his own morals . . . and soul.

A few years later, in the sleepy town of Nenserlas, the townsfolk begin to hear reports that several nearby communities have been attacked. Before they can make any sense of this news, marauding monsters ravage Nenserlas. This attack kills many, including the elf Fin?n's only daughter, and left others critically wounded, including his wife. Having faced many a battle as an elite warrior of the Guardians of the Green, Fin?n had been desperately trying to live a peaceful life with his little family of three before the devastating attack. Now that is all behind him, and he seeks revenge.

Aided by his closest friends, the dwarven siblings Balrim and Ormyn, and the mysterious half-elf Abjira, Fin?n sets out on a journey of vengeance and self-discovery. Marauding monsters, evil witches, past trauma, and the elements of nature itself all seek to prevent Fin?n from avenging his daughter. A warmongering chieftain, a sly shaman, and an evil goddess all complicate Daelrath's plot to forge heroes in the crucible of battle. What can mere mortals do against the irresistible pull of fate?

Book One in the series Mere Mortals, Son of the Forest is a thrilling epic fantasy full of action, magic, and the power of friendship.
