Leaves in a Dark Wind

by Sarah Walker

Stars have lit the Ground. Padraic’s time has come. A blind man in the wilderness where Ursu hunt have the survival chance of blood and glory. But Padraic clings to God’s promise of escape. He has his teeth, he’s running hard, and God sends him unexpected angels of mercy to help. Monkeys, Snakes and Faith Explosions pile up in Willow’s nightmares. Padraic’s gone, Fray has run to face his destiny and Willow has fallen from Lord Magrill’s grace. Two new predators rise to pursue the Children of God. But if they think they’re going to steal the world’s best secretary, they have another thing coming. Because Willow’s ready to sic God on someone for sure. Oberon has stood up to his brother and won. He’s found a home in Ruth’s cave sanctuary for refugees to hide. As the wind blows, people begin to arrive, weary, and hunted. Predators will follow, threatening the village’s perimeters, but Oberon is more worried for the enemy that is lurking in the shadows. His daughter is right, the darkness is already here. Chicago stood up to an underground Mafioso for the right to care for his alley rats. He proved his manhood and his ability to fight. With the stones earned, and the rights won, he can run the mines of sorrow. Now, years later as darkness has risen, children again scream in captivity. Their only hope is Chicago’s path of Sorrow, and the teen who’s run this road before and knows it’s secrets. As refugees flee, only God can hold them, running like leaves in a dark wind.
