Are you ready?
Kiethara considered chiding the voice for breaking her concentration, but the annoyance that should have been there was missing. Then, pausing in her climb, she considered the question.
It seemed…so familiar. She felt that someone had asked her this before. Was she ready? Prepared? Kiethara pursed her lips at the wave of déjà vu.
Well? she demanded.
Kiethara shrugged and pulled herself up another foot. She did not remember what she was supposed to be ready for.
The voice's anger at her ignorance and lack of interest was so strong that it shook Kiethara. The potent emotion was like a slap in the face, sparking her own emotion and memory.
Are you ready…Ready for Gandador? Ready for the fight? Ready for…
This.
At the sound of the voice, Kiethara was thrown off the cliff face. She had been right. As she fell, the images around her shattered like glass, breaking into rugged pieces.
Right before she hit the ground, she heard the voice whisper:
Are you ready for the end?
***
Kiethara, a descendant from a long line of powerful guardians who have been charged to protect a magical forest, is forced to face her mother’s killer and the greatest threat magic has ever faced: Gandador. As she fights to hone her skill and control her emotions, the fate of the forest—and the world—faces the most peril it has since the dawn of time.
