Call of the Tree: The Faithwalker Series Book 1

by Darryl Steven Markowitz

Today's political and religious strife have torn our world apart, but the new country with no name vowed to punish and stamp out anyone holding the 'old' ways that caused the world's destruction. One hundred years later, teenagers Stephanie and Vaughn can't help challenging everything about their corrupt surroundings, unaware that they are involved in a plot that extends far beyond their little town, their country with no name, and even the world as they know it.

Stephanie sees transparent gray arms reaching inside people's heads. Vaughn's vision of a blackness blowing people up from the inside out leaves him wondering.

What is a faithwalker? Potentially the most powerful person alive — Earth's only hope against the coming evils, that is, if the faithwalkers survive the terrible hardships into which they are always born.

Faith in ones abilities, faith in a goodness beyond, faith in a friend . . . the faithwalker will need all of that and more to keep from dying.
