Samantha King: The Whispering Woods

Previously

…Samantha looked at the dissipating smoke, the lingering chill in the air. The reality of her quest, the dangers she faced, crashed down upon her. She was no longer the girl who heard the trees; she was a protector, a warrior in a battle she was only beginning to understand. And with Elias at her side, a silent, enigmatic guardian, she knew she could face whatever lay ahead. The path to the Sunstone was perilous, but for the first time, she felt a glimmer of hope, a quiet determination to see it through, no matter the cost.
