Torsils in Time — William D. Burt

In this sequel to The King of the Trees, Rolin and Marlis are enjoying a carefree autumn picnic with the griffins Windsong and Ironwing when they are trapped between worlds. Too late they learn the connections among a silver starglass, a handful of pearls and five ravens. Cut off from friends, family and each other, they must learn to survive in a land where unwary travelers fall prey to savage creatures. To save Lucambra from a devouring darkness, they join forces with some unlikely allies. Only in losing all they have ever known and loved do they discover the faithfulness of Gaelathane.
