Book Description

In the first book of the Tree Dwellers trilogy - The Clan, Brill, and his young couriers have returned home from a successful grain-gathering mission at Memmcaro’s grain facility. Their community, known as The Clan, resides high in the hidden canopy of the tallwoods. The couriers stole their way into the corrupt seed conglomerate Memmcaro’s compound, but in doing so, it cost them the lives of their friends. Captain Mullins and his ruthless Rooks run Memmcaro. They control the compound where tainted and rare, untainted grains are stored. Horrific experiments on innocent children snatched from their homes also occur at the complex. Through these experiments, Mullins hopes to develop a serum that can cure the toxic effects of the diseases that affect virtually everyone on the ground. At a different location, Mullins’ nemesis, Civantes, is also conducting cruel experiments on the children. These endeavors have been unsuccessful due to the lack of healthy specimens - until now. Mullins wants to capture the tree dwellers whom he has seen. He wants them for their healthy compositions but also because they blew up his Farm, where battles to the death between men and mutated monsters took place. With the help of friends they have met, the companions must find and destroy Mullins, Civantes, and his deadly mutant men - The Snatchers - before being discovered. With the invaluable help of Mama Kilee’s knowledge, SheShe’s loyalty, and the antics of their pets, Cat and Dog, they must avoid the relentless Demonis, the silent Shivers, and the terrifying Humonsters if they want to live. Their mission is no longer about food. It’s about friendship, hope, and survival; time is running out.
