Kalas had always thought of Lohwàlar, his hometown, as a simple place where nothing noteworthy ever happened.

Produktbeschreibung
Kalas had always thought of Lohwàlar, his hometown, as a simple place where nothing noteworthy ever happened. That all changes on his fourteenth birthday, when, at the bottom of a dried-up ocean, he and his father discover something no one has ever seen: something with a sinister presence and an inescapable sense of wrongness surrounding it. It's not long before strange creatures, risen from the pages of the world's mythology, make their presence known for the first time in uncounted thousands of years, wreaking havoc and destruction upon all who stand in their way. At the same time, Kalas learns there's a prophecy from an unremembered time; a prophecy whispered in secret by a select few charged with protecting humankind from the advent of another evil age. A prophecy some believe only Kalas can fulfill. His once-simple world totters on the brink as the forces of dark and light grapple for supremacy. Thrust against his will into fast-unfolding events, accompanied by his friends and mentors, Kalas must undertake a perilous journey through lands he's never known and into dangers he's never imagined. He must uncover the mysteries of an ancient power, present from before the foundation of the world, as he strives to grasp his place within the prophecy. Will his choices save the world-or condemn it?
Autorenporträt
Blake grew up in and around Guilford, Maine, delighting in its nearby woods, waterfalls, and mountains. (The ocean-just a couple of hours away-is also pretty great.) Now married, he and his lovely wife are raising their two boys in Holly Springs, North Carolina. The outdoors remains a necessary escape-whether it's working in his backyard workshop, exploring the Carolinas' breathtaking (in multiple ways) trails and wildernesses, or relaxing along the coast-because staring at a computer screen for hours on end gets old. Quickly. _Between the Lion & the Wolf,_ the second volume in _The Daybringer_ series, is his second novel.
