You know you've got a bad hill ahead when, on the long approach, people start coming out of their houses and cheering you on.This book is about what can happen when you throw caution to the wind and open yourself up to the possibilities of adventure.The story contained in these pages took place 33 years ago in 1988, in a different era. It was an amazing adventure that continually tested all my limits, both physical and mental, and the lessons I learned in those 8 months on the road have stuck with me since.Friends and family who read my early drafts of the book remarked that it was like being with me on my journey without having to leave the comfort of their living room. While I am obviously thrilled to hear that, my sincere hope is that reading these tales inspires you to find your own unique adventure; to test and find your own limits, as we can only grow when we know where the boundaries lie.

The isle of Aure is an odd place. Half is buried under a perilous "cursed wood," the other half is speckled with the ancient remains of a lost civilization. Aure's newest inhabitants have made their homes on top of those ruins. Myths and legends abound. Stories about the fae are widespread, but never taken seriously. Soon, though, everything is about to change... When free spirited Merisande flees into a cursed wood to avoid an unwanted marriage to Sir Avry, she finds herself in a hidden kingdom full of winged people who keep human slaves. Her betrothed follows her there, and they are both captured and enslaved. Having learned that the fae king plans to attack their people and gather more slaves, Avry and Merisande must learn to work together to escape and save their country from impending doom.

The exciting sequel to Beneath the Roots! Merisande has returned home to heal from her harrowing ordeal in the fae kingdom. Sir Avry continues to write to her in the hope that he can spark a romance between them. Meanwhile, the king appoints Avry as his successor. Avry has no choice but to accept the title of king-in-waiting, despite his fear that it'll ruin his chances with free-spirited Merisande. His personal issues are soon pushed aside when an old enemy returns, bent on destruction. The fae king, having survived the ruin of his kingdom, has sworn revenge and sends The White, a giant, shape-shifting bird, to attack Avry's people. The White has been subjected to centuries of mistreatment by her handlers, known as binders. And the danger she poses cannot be understated. As Avry desperately tries to find a way to save his people from the evils of the fae king, Merisande's sudden disappearance only adds to his worries. But soon an unexpected ally appears as the fae prince returns from afar, intent on righting his father's wrongs. Has he come in time? Or has his father unleashed a power that threatens to destroy their world forever?
