Ten years after the events at Green Lake, former conservation officer Eris Renard finds his life’s direction has changed, not of his own choosing but due to the obsessions and brutal tactics of others. He finds himself caught up in a group rescue and becomes part of an adventure that twists accepted belief systems, challenges reality, and awakens feelings in him for the most vulnerable among them. He’ll deal with all of it in his own implacable fashion, but first he has to make sure everyone survives someone called The Magician, and then somehow capture a kidnapper who’s about to be abducted himself. AUTHOR’S NOTE: Please read the above synopsis carefully. This story takes place ten years after Green Lake. Ten. Years. Don’t expect anything to remain the same. A lot can and often does change in ten years, so please, no more complaints because you just finished reading Green Lake, found this book, and nothing was as you expected. Our beloved Eris has many more adventures to come. Just like you and I. So you’ve been duly warned, okay?
