SYNOPSIS

This second book in the series begins with Julian's escape northward with the magical key and Passwords into the Burning Forest. The forest is a foreboding place where those who enter are never seen again. Though nervous, Julian accepts that it is his only option he must enter and risk whatever dangers therein lie.

Julian starts having visions in the Forest. He soon identifies and communicates with the spirit of his long dead father, who spurs him onward encouraging him to trust in the magic of the Balance. As Julian enters further into the Burning Forest he senses that he is not alone. Suddenly he discovers that he is able to communicate with the Moonfruit pine trees that surround him. He is led to one great lone pine and falls into a drug induced sleep.

The Moonfruit Pine are the protectors of the Burning Forest. They commune through the breeze and are able, by releasing their pollen, to cause intruders to fall into a deep sleep from which they never awaken. But this intruder is different. The Moonfruit are prevented from harming Julian and visited by his ancestors through 'communing' while Julian is under the Moonfruit's spell. The Moonfruit are directed to help Julian to find the Dwellers of the Forest and provide him with safe passage. The Moonfruit agree and they notify the Dwellers of the arrival of this special intruder this 'one from before'.

The Dwellers are the people of the forest. They live in tree top homes well camouflaged deep within the north of the forest. Once they are told of the intruder's presence and his connection to the Old Ones, they come to meet and escort Julian to their secret community.

While Julian is being met and led to the Dwellers' home, Darla, Eruinn and Thiunn find their way back to Jard and Julian's cottage. Upon arriving there, they cross with the presence of the evil.

Quickly they start upon a journey to catch up with Julian in order to assist him and protect him from Lord Merm and the evil.

Lord Merm is not far behind Julian. He is being given guidance by the evil to track him. Lord Merm enlists the aid of the Riders of the Ice Barrens nomadic mercenaries who can track anything successfully. With them he travels north after Julian.

Julian manages to convince the Dwellers to help him find the mythical home, TIKA, of the Old Ones. The Dwellers guide Julian out of the Burning Forest ever more northward to the mighty Pass river and the grand canyons of TIKA.
