Needle and Leaf

Forced out on the road with the boy left in his care, Jovan determines to journey into the cave of the bear — to seek out those that would do him and his boy harm. It is the boy and his bottomless well of soul-searing magic that they seek. They would do anything to exploit it. And Jovan would do anything to stop them.

Jovan made his deal, ensuring Leaf would have a normal life. But Leaf is anything but normal, and the magic pouring from him draws the attention of a sinister vedmak coven, bent on increasing their power. Jovan's rage, long hidden in his carefully curated calm, reawakens with each threat to Leaf's life—but now his Rage has a voice.

With Leaf taken by the Fifth and Sixth gods for training, Jovan and Ctefa try and find a normal life in their new marriage. But with rumors of the Endless invading, Jovan cannot help but feel the emptiness that Leaf left behind. Now they journey north to seek the council of the Four gods of Body, Mind, Soul, and Spirit, for a chance to be reunited with those they've lost, and with luck, to save the world. Journeying to new lands and dark worlds, Needle & Leaf is a rich tale of found family, a stoic and loving father, and the road that binds travelers together.
