IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THIS.
ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK?
The Cove has fallen. The woods are collapsing. Leonardo and the survivors return north to where their journey began, in search of allies to fight The Dark-a tangible nightmare in search of blood. But when they reach the Darkwoods, they find it even bleaker than they had feared. Any semblance of clan life has crumbled in the aftermath of the Dark.
Meanwhile, an ancient and bizarre game takes place high above the ground in the canopy of the Redwoods, a distant corner of the woods ruled by a leader who calls himself the general. Leonardo's party is magically whisked to their treetop world, where they face a race against time. The Redwoods kids care more about their rivalries than the impending Dark, and Leonardo is forced to join the game in an effort to dismantle it from the inside.
Every plan is dashed by a new setback, and the Dark draws closer by the day. Leonardo must outthink all of his enemies at once, or the woods-and all of its children-will vanish.
About the author
Riley Quinn graduated summa cum laude from a large public high school. She then matriculated to Gannon College where she received a BS in social work and graduated summa cum laude with numerous awards. Quinn worked as a social work researcher for three years and gave birth to two girls before joining the University of Pittsburgh School of Law. There she published a note in the Journal of Law and Commerce, and during her second year was accepted onto the Law Review as a staff editor. Upon graduation, Quinn accepted a position at the largest law firm in Pittsburgh. She practiced in "Big Law" for eight years, but after giving birth to her fourth child (the third child having died shortly after birth), she found the work/life balance impossible to achieve. Quinn then formed her first of three law firms, along with three small real estate development companies, where she successfully balanced her work life with her home life. She was able to give birth to her fifth child while she managed the ongoing demands of being both a mother and a lawyer. At the end of her career, Quinn became a licensed title agent and folded her law practice into a midsize downtown law firm.Realizing the importance of growing her community for the benefit of her family and others, Quinn always made time to give back to her community while balancing her hectic life. Her children were often in tow with her during these endeavors, so they too understand the value of giving back to our communities.Quinn is proud to report that each one of her four children is well-adjusted and happy as well as a successful, educated, and compassionate contributor to society.
