The Tale of Thora Velos (Wards of The Planting Tree, #1) / Wards of The Planting Tree (ePub)

Thora can hear a voice telling her the world is about to end, unless she alone can stop it. That is how she forges a destiny that will transform her from a hesitant girl from the quiet village of Starling into Thora Velos, a powerful Ward dedicated to protecting The Planting Tree, the one tree that feeds and connects all life in her world.
But along the way, she will face off against an unimaginable terror: a creature of pure evil who seeks to smother her, The Planting Tree and her entire world under a sea of suffocating mud. Though she can wield powerful runes of magic to protect herself, through the oak walking stick she carries, the battle will extract a heavy price. When Thora Velos emerges from her contest permanently scarred, she will face new adversaries and challenges as she finds herself in a world that has left her behind.
She seeks the help of four Wards to join her cause: a strong but heartbroken man nearing the end of his rope, a twin brother and sister who are "cursed," and a talented but deeply troubled young man whose only friends are black-winged crows.
But will a betrayal from within her own ranks undo everything that Thora Velos is fighting to forge?
Jump into this prequal and origin story for "Warriors of the Garden," which will take you deep into the world of The Three Kingdoms, and the adventures of the Wards who guard The Planting Tree.
