The Star-Tree Knife

About this book

In the hidden fantasy realm of Rootwhisper, enormous star-trees bind whole families through roots that carry memory, magic, and obligation. Twelve-year-old Joren, marked by starlight in his eyes, has inherited the ancient Star-Tree Knife just as his family’s tree begins blackening from within. While his mother urges a sacrifice that could end generations of power, his father advocates a darker solution that would preserve their gifts at a terrible cost. As Rootwhisper’s living canopy sickens and neighboring families face famine, Joren follows buried records and dangerous rootways toward the original wound in his bloodline. Told across two interlocking timelines, the novel confronts a boy and his great-grandfather with the consequences of choosing family strength over human mercy.
