If your dying friend had one wish, would you grant it? When Everett, a woodcutter’s son, makes an unlikely friend in Rrrwin, a young Arborigine with a root defect, he makes a decision that will launch the pair on an incredible journey across the Seven Forests of the Kingdom of Windfall. With just his father’s ax and his sick friend in a wagon, Everett sets out on a quest to grant Rrrwin’s last wish. What the friends discover is a fantastic world that is bigger and more amazing than they ever imagined. Along the way, they meet explosive-obsessed Munchkins, run-away healers, troubled Yetis, overzealous knights, and greed-filled mages that plunge them into wild chases through haunted woods, plots to overthrow the kingdom, magical battles that shatter mountains, and even an encounter with a dragon . . . As they face challenge after challenge, Everett becomes determined to do more than just grant his friend’s wish, he wants to save his life. But is he too late?
Taylor Everett Brown is a Christian husband, father, and writer living in Austin, Texas with his wife, Margaret, and his son, Everett. He enjoys dancing with his wife, going on walks with his son, playing video games with his brother, and playing sand volleyball with his friends.
On the eve of his first child's birth, Taylor began writing a bedtime story he could read to his son throughout his childhood. The little project transformed into a yearlong initiative as the story grew and changed. The final result was Rootless, a collection of stories telling the adventures of Everett and Rrrwin in the Seven Forests of the Kingdom of Windfall.
