Welcome to Kalder — Franz S. McLaren

"Clarion of Destiny" is the eight volume fantasy tale of Leena, a young hedge witch in training selected by destiny to combat the greatest challenge her world has known. In an epic journey that leads through foreign lands and mysterious realms where demons, monsters and magic rule, this inexperienced young girl is forced to overcome a protected childhood to face challenges that would crush far more experienced adventurers. With each step, each passing day, she draws closer to a malevolent force so formidable it has defeated the mightiest armies and the strongest magic in her world. How can one lone girl hope to overcome an evil that has never known defeat? In Volume 4, Welcome to Kalder, potentially fatal injuries set a life-limiting clock on Jax. Leena must learn the skills necessary to heal him or find someone who can. In a treacherous land where no one can be trusted, the group must find the help they need while avoiding the learned magic of sorcerers who profit from the capture and enslavement of a peaceful race. With only natural magic and the Garlan branch, can Leena save her friend and prevent the cruel exploitation of an innocent people?
