Publisher's Synopsis
A new power is waking up...
Cast out of their village and with nowhere to call home, Solma and Warren have spent the winter travelling with the Earth Whisperers, searching for signs of the queen bees they managed to rescue last summer. But something is changing in Alphor. Villages that once accepted the Earth Whisperers are driving them away and, try as they might, they can find no sign of the bees. With food running out, Solma and her friends travel deeper into the heart of Alphor, where they find something remarkable.
A village, thriving and full of flowers, which should be impossible. But why are the village folk so secretive and suspicious? Why doesn't the Steward want them to explore the woods nearby? Solma is determined that she will never again be tricked by a greedy leader and she swears to uncover whatever secret this village is hiding.
But someone else lurks in those woods. Someone that could make Solma's worst nightmares come true. And if Solma doesn't uncover this mystery soon, everyone she loves will be in terrible danger.
