WAYMAKER
Book 2 of the Pearlsong Refounding (See NOTE below)
“One man’s struggle will seal the fate of all”

With the rediscovery of the legendary Book of Dei'lo, the lines of war have been drawn across the Inherited Lands. Behind their mystically fortified walls, the forces for good and evil are massing for the ultimate conflict, pitting the two Languages of Power against one another in open battle for the first time. The results of such a war can be nothing short of cataclysmic...

At the focal point of this coming apocalypse stands Gideon Dawning, a troubled loner and stranger to the Lands who has been marked by both prophecy and providence as the solitary Waymaker for the Pearl. His charge: to find a holy sentient orb of power that has been lost for over 2,000 years, and bring it safely to Wordhaven. If he succeeds, there is a chance he may avert the war and usher in a new Endless Age. But the quest is perilous, and there are many who would see Gideon fail--Sa'lei Lords of staggering power, and their corrupted minions within the Deathland Barrens. Yet an even greater danger lurks within the realms Gideon cannot see...where a living evil quietly plots to capture his very soul.

With all the perils that lie before him, Gideon is certain of only this: he must go. For if he cannot retrieve the Pearl, no one will.

NOTE TO READERS:

I know many of you are anxiously waiting to hear the fate of Waymaker, which recently left its home with Barbour and went on a "sojourn" of its own to find a new publisher. First of all, I want to thank you for your continued faith and support of this project. Your belief in Gideon's story is what keeps me committed to seeing that the complete trilogy finds its way out to the world.

We are currently working behind the scenes to find Gideon a new home. And we're confident it won't be a long search. Meantime, keep the faith! And thanks again for all your emails of support and encouragement.

All my best--Michael
