Fantasy - What is a journey? To some, it might involve simply travelling from place to place. But a true journey includes a search into one's own heart, to find what lies inside. Destruction has been found close—too close—to the city. The city sorcerers and sorceresses consult the Great Seer, whose vision states that 'No man can defeat the warlock. But there is a One. The One shall be given the Way by the Witch of the Great East Wood.' And so two sorceresses and the group forming their escort set out in search of the Witch for more information. But who is the One who can defeat the warlock? If no 'man' can do so, is the One a sorceress? Or perhaps the female soldier in the escort? Or perhaps a male who is not a human at all? The group has many questions, and they will find some answers—perhaps more than expected—On the Trail of the Ruthless Warlock.

In On the Trail of the Ruthless Warlock, a band of warriors and two sorceresses-with advice from the Witch of the Great East Wood-joined forces to battle a powerful warlock. Now they are called to a new quest when sorceress Veras senses something strange; tears in the wind. The Witch needs their help! With her new husband the swordsman Nico and the sorceress Creda, she and their warrior friends travel to the Great East Wood to face new challenges . . . a powerful force is trying to seize control of the weather! While they struggle against this force, Veras and Nico face their own challenges as they adjust to married life and Veras' surprise pregnancy, all of which is complicated by the presence of sorcerer Xyron-Veras' former lover. Can the group overcome their doubts and differences to find some way to protect the Great East Wood and the surrounding areas?...
