Judge Not, A Murder Mystery — Mario V. Farina

If the forest dies, the world will burn.

It has been tens of thousands of years since Cain was banished. Millennia have passed since the people have forgotten their origins. They have raised new idols, forged new gods for themselves, but one can never escape the past.

Reslo wants only to protect his mother forest and be home with his family. Instead, he finds himself thrust into disaster and ruin. The Dark Elves and their Ogre allies are rampaging through his forest homeland, spilling blood and sowing chaos on a quest to make the woods their own. Viewed as an outsider for his entire life, Reslo must now fight to protect the very people who have scorned him from birth.

But Dark Elves and Ogres aren't the last of Reslo's worries. Two young knights from a foreign kingdom are on a quest to find a lost champion and the holy relic-blade he carried. If they fail to find the truth behind his disappearance, their knightly orders will march to war.

Can Reslo keep the two knights alive and still defeat the enemies who threaten his forest home?

"Road of the Lost is a thrilling fantasy adventure with action and humor..." - San Francisco Book Review.
"Road of the Lost is a fast-paced fantasy with an RPG feel... I really enjoyed the jocular, brotherly bickering of the two knights... This was a fun fantasy read." - Manhattan Book Review
