Abandoned and alone, a young nomad whose sanctuary and home had always been the vast forrest in which he was left behind, leaves the protection of the woodlands to be thrown into a world unlike the serenity and innocence he had always known. Forsaken by his clan, he cares for no one except for the life that thrives within his domain. But one woman, a princess of the kingdom of Varacai, makes all that change. With a newfound power, a forbidden love and a legendary sword in his hands, will he be given everything and then be forced to risk it all for a cause that will shatter or strengthen Varacai? But no matter which path he chooses, he will find that all will come to know him as Tempest, the Lord of the Forrest.
