Fury's Mantle

In the wake of the second World Shift, Tam and I have spent eight years building UnderBarrow and Willow Wood into a thriving community. We’ve created an oasis of civilization, a safe haven in the vast sea of chaos left after Seattle fell. But as we settle into our new life, a terrifying danger is rising...
Travelers through our territory are being attacked, viciously savaged and taken for food. There are no survivors and no witnesses, but rumors begin to circulate. One of the old gods has returned with a taste for blood. When the Frostlings report that lycanthropes are gathering under a strange banner, we know we’re in trouble. Whoever is at their helm is proving a ruthless, deadly enemy. As the attacks close in on Willow Wood, Hecate warns me that if we can’t stop them, all we’ve worked so hard to build will be destroyed.
"THE END OF civilization as we knew it arrived not with a whimper, but with a massive storm. When Gaia—the great mother and spirit of the Earth finally woke from her slumber to discover the human race destroying the planet through a series of magical Weather Wars, she pitched a fit. The magical storm she unleashed ripped open the doors on the World Tree. In that one cataclysmic moment, known as the World Shift, life changed forever as creatures from our wildest dreams and nightmares began to pour through the open portals. The old gods returned and set up shop. The Fae and the Weres came out from the shadows and took their place among the humans. The Theosians began to appear. Technology integrated with magic, and everything became jumbled together. Nothing in the old order remained untouched. But as time has proven over and over again, greed won out. Once again, we ignored history. This time, we started the destruction ourselves, with a storm of unimaginable devastation that swept through the world. Yes, our kind started it, but Gaia finished it.
Back to the ashes. Back to the roots. Back to the drawing board. And now, we’re rebuilding anew, hoping to avoid the mistakes of the past. But dangers are rife, and in the untamed wilds, there are still madmen and would-be conquerors waiting for their chance. Sometimes, change takes a long time to play out."
