Succession

by Darryl Markowitz

Overview

Freedom. It's a lot more than crossing a border.

A corrupt theocracy threatens Vaughn's people with forced conversion so he joins the military which still retains partial autonomy. Will the theocrats allow these heathen to be sheltered by their political enemies? Standing between them in a tenuous ambassadorial position, Stephanie is baited to sacrifice more than she can bear.

Ancient King Mafferan has long enjoyed a special place in Heaven, but Master ScrabaGag from the Ethereal has finally isolated and trapped him. If Mafferan falls, Heaven and Earth fall, but Heaven can't help him. Only one person on Earth whose abilities are still unknown has the potential to thwart ScrabaGag. Yet the Master is blind to his own dangerous ethereal enemy which only his faithful underling suspects. How can Grinchback protect his Master from being consumed and having their plans stolen?

Nothing is as it seems. Is it too much even for a faithwalker whose nature is to walk in the unknown?

Author's Note: Although this is Book 4 of the Faithwalker Series you may choose to read it first.

Editorial Reviews

Just thought I'd drop by and say hello. I cannot wait for book 4. I do hope it gets out sooner than later. I'm in limbo here waiting to find out what happens in the next book. I'm sure it is even more suspenseful than book 3. You are always full of surprises...

I just really enjoyed reading this third book (The Dead Forest). Every single bit of it challenges you to question your own perception. It makes you actually THINK about what the book is talking about, and it makes you think about your faith. I know its "fantasy" but its nice to see how deep a Love can really be. And that's how God's Love is, and you show that in all of your books. Its really refreshing. Difficult at times because feeling that pain from love hurts, but I agree that its worth it.

I am on page 124 of the second book(The Sacrificial Wood). It is 3:35am. I cannot stop reading. I have class at 1pm. I love it and I have to say that I am going to have to read these books over and over again. I know that as I read I will learn and find more and more things. My brain is about to explode from how deep this novel is. Just thought I would share my thoughts mid book :)

Book 1 (Call of the Tree) was great to read and it does well at introducing the reader to the setting, characters as well at setting up elements essential in the second book. I found it to be great for both young and old audiences, it has a feeling of authenticity to it that I think young readers desire without narrowing the scope at which this series can draw upon. The scope of this book and series covers a lot of topics that seem mundane at first but inevitably become creatively contentious...

(Call of the Tree: Book1) Your book's got that realism that not only makes you want to keep reading it, but gets you thinking about what the characters are saying and thinking. Actually, I think reading your book(s) and Orwell's 1984 together could be beneficial to people; they're a great match. Both of them show the importance of thinking. Bottom line I guess is that even though 1984's a great book, Call of the Tree's just... more fun to read! Because the situation it describes is NOT hopeless.
