Book Cover & Preview Text
"The Queen's blood with the heartwood mingled, stays the Slayers hand. The branches from the root removed to a foreign land. From east to west seed is scattered in places far between Until twice seven, less the one, the Son shall meet the Daughter of the Queen. They twain shall look in fear upon what til then remained unseen. The ancient blade will be their need, to slay the beast that cannot bleed. If to twice seven the beast survives Rell~Ik Ra~Il shall remain alive." Laura turned and looked at Truman after reading the words of the Prophecy. All he could do was shrug his shoulders. "I have no idea what it could mean," he said, "but I think we'd better try to find out." "I'll be on the 'net as soon as I get home," she replied.

About the Book
Photojournalist Joseph James is saved from the jaws of a grizzly by an old man in the mountains of Montana. The man calls himself Truman Struck, and he seems relieved to meet Joseph. Truman has a story to tell, and who better to tell than a journalist? Back in Truman’s cabin, the story begins, and Joseph can hardly believe what he hears.
As a young man, Truman was sentenced to a Montana prison for driving under the influence. Because of his background in science, he is chosen to assist GED teacher Laura Whitherby. He enjoys working with Laura, but he is haunted both by strange dreams and by a building outside his barred window that used to be a slaughterhouse. Soon, with the help of Native American inmate Medicine Horse, Truman learns of an ancient prophecy that involves a link between Laura and himself.
Their ancestral histories intertwine, and together they have been chosen to fight a dark force known as I LIVE that hides beneath the nearby mountain. Supernatural foes stand in their way, though, as the Dark One seeks Truman’s death. How can two mere humans battle monsters of the spirit realm? The Prophecy holds the key, and journalist Joseph James is about to learn the true power of darkness.
