About this ebook

Follow multiple storylines to see how the present and the past are more connected than any of the Foresters understand. Begin in middle ages France, 1465 and the Foresters encounter a young child named Prisca in the woods near a battle.

Back in the present, it's six months after the Foresters helped end of one of the original curses, and they're still struggling to adapt. But time waits for no one, and new dangers are rising.

Jonah is investigating why Half-Elves have been getting abducted... then returned, Raymond’s kids land in unexpected danger, and Martine has drawn the attention of both a powerful witch and the local Merfolk. Meanwhile, the Eklunds are trying to keep another God away from Priscilla.

Events of the past forged them all into who they are today. But is it a change for the better?
