A Mountain Spruce: book two in the electrifying new series Speakers of the Earth
The council of the Speakers has just ended, and Ray Holdman must now confront gifts and capabilities that are coming to him quickly and inexplicably, in ways both frightening and dangerous. No longer certain who-or even what-he is or is becoming, Ray quickly learns that without all the help his remarkable new friends have to offer, nothing but catastrophe will follow.The backcountry of Tahoma-also called Mount Rainier-teems with elemental energy that drives and vivifies the Earth. Used properly by those gifted with its secrets, this energy is a boundless source of healing, replenishment and growth. Used wrongly, or ignorantly, it becomes an agent of fearful destruction. Now Ray must stretch his body, heart, and mind beyond anything he has ever known or imagined, in order to wield properly the power he has been given, and that he was born with. Ray's next choices, and how he carries them out, will decide whether his newfound friends, the land, and all who live in it will live or die. Equal parts ecological fiction and contemporary mythology, Speakers of the Earth is a riveting, hair-raising adventure from a storyteller with deep human wisdom to share, and an impassioned ode to the beauty and more-than-human intelligence of the natural world, and the humans who strive to live in community with it.
