Uprooted

Caran and Tevan find the dusty remains of a macabre crime scene. Who committed the gruesome murder, and who was the unlucky traveler?

As they search for answers the brothers discover secrets that bear upon their own lives. With mortal danger quick on their heels they’re uprooted from their home, driven from their family, set on a perilous journey across a land they hardly know.

Forced to contend with malicious mystics, they can’t predict if the powers of the mages are a refuge to run to or another evil to be avoided.

In a world of poorly understood factions, intrigues, dangers, and powers - magical and spiritual - how can two ordinary boys survive against such extraordinary circumstances?

Author Edwin Hanks has written fiction since elementary school. He’s been professionally employed as a writer, editor, journalist and public communicator. He has published several manuals and strategy guides for historical strategy games but has always wished to return to his first love of fiction. His first novel, Uprooted, inaugurates a rich series of epic fantasy, and he’s already working on several other books in the series, as well as other books in the science fiction and historical fiction realms. Edwin Hanks shares his Colorado home with his wife, an adopted shelter dog and three rescued cats. The great outdoors of his home state occupy a great deal of his time and he’s often found hiking in the wilderness where he once performed search and rescue missions with the Civil Air Patrol.
