The Dead Trees (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781777553876)

Sometimes, hunting magical beasts can be murder...

In the great city of Abraniotok live the Stalkers: men and women dedicated to hunting miscreations - magically created beasts who lurk in the city and countryside.

So when a pair of fast-breeding, tree-eating miscreations attack a valley of orchards two days away, Assistant Stalker Abyowith and Lieutenant Kalitith are ordered to grab their swords and pistols and hunt them down.

It seems like an easy job until Abyowith finds the son of the local noble, lying dead near a mountain stream.

Now, Abyowith and Kalitith must split their focus between finding the young man's killer and stopping the tree eaters from destroying the valley.

But as what looks like a simple murder grows ever-more complicated, the Stalkers realize that discovering the truth may be far more dangerous than anything they expected.

"Erik Buchanan's deft plotting and compelling characters are a fantasy lover's delight! The Stalker Chronicles continue with a potent mix of mystery and magic that will leave fans breathless to the final twist." - KT Bryski, Award-Winning Author and Podcaster
