The Darkest Forests: Book II of the Outcasts Series

By Chuck Abdella

"Lie enough and you risk losing the truth entirely." As the Outcasts continue their quest to save the fractured world, both the deceptions and the dangers will grow for the Wizards, Humans, Elf, and Morph. They must journey to the Darkest Forests of the Morphs to find another piece of an enchanted weapon and evidence begins to emerge that life, like a good story, is never what it seems. The broken misfits find themselves caught between the belligerents in the bitter war, the shadowy Custodes, and the one they persist in calling "the Dark Lord." Through it all, Marcus, Quintus, Octavia, Gwen, Synthyya, and Alexia must discern what is truth and what is a lie told to advance a story. Yet as Synthyya notes, "truth is a sticky thing like honey, but never as sweet." New friends will join the fellowship, old friends may die as prophesied, and the Outcasts' pasts continue to entangle their present. But even in the darkest forests, one must look for the light. Sometimes those darkest forests are invisible, and other times they are within as much as without. In another excitement-packed novel, Chuck Abdella picks up where he left off in Book I: "The Lies of Autumn" by weaving a story for us with multi-layered characters, tangled relationships, and an unfolding mystery on every page where "one never knows what will happen until it happens."
