Description
*************************************************************** A sliver of light broke the darkness. It widened as the door slowly opened. Granfeld watched from the darkness as the light brought life to the portraits hanging on the wall. They’d found him. He watched as a small elven woman entered the room. He knew what she was going to say. It was time. But he didn’t want to hear. “Sire?” Storm glanced around the room, waiting for her eyes to adjust. She watched as unicorns, dragons, mermaids, harpies, cats, and centaurs came into focus. And, there, an old troll. The only breathing creature in here besides herself. She approached him and placed a hand softly on his arm. “Granfeld? Sir. You must come. At once.” “It’s happened?” “It’s happened. They’ve found us.”**************************************************************** It is what they have always feared. Humans have found them. Thousands of years ago, the founders searched for sanctuary. A place where their kind could find safety from the burgeoning and destructive human population. A place where humans would never find them. They found an immense network of deep subterranean tunnels that span the entire globe and created a sanctuary where sentient creatures of all types live, protected from the scourge that is humanity for countless generations. Until now. Evan, a human, is in a race against time. His family inherited an old Manse that came with a 250 year-old troll named Hemming who has lived in secret. Hemming and Evan are the best of friends. But Evan’s encounter with a school bully changes their relationship and puts Hemming’s life at risk. To save Hemming, Evan must embark on a mission that changes everything - for him, for Hemming and for the Underground. Underground, Evan finds a complex society that is on the verge of civil war. Politically, the Underground is falling apart. The majority of the population is content staying hidden Underground and being ruled by the High Council, as it has always been, but another force is gaining power. The Alliance wants to declare war on the humans and retake topside. The only thing the denizens of the Underground can agree on is that humans do not belong in their world. Hemming is a contemporary fantasy novel that follows Evan as he tries to convince the High Council to save his friend’s life. A fast paced novel that will intrigue the reader and keep them wanting more.
