★★★★★ " Riveting! I couldn’t put it down. " - Reader Review __________ Draw your sword and ride to the stars in this sci-fi and fantasy book! Something has fallen out of the sky and a golden beam of light has carved a crater into the mountains near Castle Killovew. The sun, already rising and setting only once every few years, is slowing down even further. Alien creatures dig below the surface and soar unseen through the foggy skies. The crops are failing, the rivers are drying up, and refugees are pouring into Lord Killovew’s land. The Realm of the Thirsting Forest may not make it to another sunrise. With sword and shield, Lord James Killovew and his two children must lead the defense of their medieval kingdom. From the Acolyte rulers of the west, who claim the apocalypse is coming, to the cannibal tribes of the north, who might tell you the apocalypse already has come and gone. And then a mysterious magical visitor appears who may be from the stars and would have you believe he might be the key to saving their world... More reviews: “The Thirsting Forest delivers a collision of Epic fantasy and Space Opera science fiction unlike anything we’ve ever read. Heartwarming, haunting and hold-on-to-your-pants fun all the way through. 5 out of 5 stars… or should we say, 5 out of 5 satellites!” Virginia-North Carolina-Texas-Florida Book Club Alliance
