When the Tree Calls

When the Tree Calls is an immersive epic fantasy novel that blends portal fantasy, magic-world adventure, and high stakes action. Wounded and alone in the desert, U.S. Army soldier Aron Coverstone fights for his life with the enemy closing in. All hope seems lost, until a mysterious portal thrusts the soldier from one conflict to another found on a distant world. With a family lineage of military veterans, it was only natural for Aron to answer the call to serve his country. But the horrors of combat don't match the adventures that he imagined, and after surviving a deadly ambush, his only wish is to return to his fiancée and their unborn child. Now, in an alternate world of magic and fantastical beings, it seems as though any chance of Aron returning home has vanished. And for the young soldier, a new fight has just begun. Discovering the near-dead Aron while traveling through the lands of Parise, brave and determined Iyla, of the native Neclu Pelri race, sees an opportunity to recruit this strange new warrior for her own mission; to rescue a long-lost friend from an evil that has seized the land. As Aron and Iyla agree to an uneasy alliance, they must form an unlikely pact to aid each other in their quests. But as the secrets of Athemoni start to unravel, Aron begins to wonder, did he really fall into this new world by chance? For fans of portal fantasy, character-driven magical worlds, and epic quests through fantastical lands, When the Tree Calls delivers action, adventure, and heart-pounding stakes.
