Synopsis

Winter is a predator, taking villages one at a time, leaving the people either dead or half mad. For thousands of years, the Elementarí-spirits of the elements- have slept peacefully under the watchful eye of the Terakhein, a guardian tribe that protects them. But now that the Elementari have started to awaken, the Terakhein are nowhere to be found. In Gaelastad, where the trees never die, eighteen-year-old Jonathan is haunted by dreams of a little girl: the last of the Terakhein. Fleeing from enemies across treacherous lands, Jonathan must survive and find the girl. Fortunately, help comes in the form of Bryn, a terrible fire spirit, and Morgan, the most beautiful-and deadly-of water spirits. But are they strong enough to give him the time he needs to find the missing girl and stop the tide of destruction?

"An unusual world of deathless trees and common folk who are more than they seem make this a winner for fans of epic fantasy. With elements that should appeal to readers who enjoy Terry Brooks's "Shannara" series and fans of weird fantasy."-- Jackie Cassada, Library Journal (starred review, Debut of the Month)
"Recommended for fans of Martha Wells, Margaret Weis, and Brandon Sanderson."-- J. M. McDermott, author of Last Dragon and Never Knew Another"
