Dozens of Tracker Cats are surrounding them, and are preparing to attack.The God War is Book One of a four book series. Journey along with Jarin as she travels through four books across five continents making friends, suffering betrayals, facing death and finding herself.Jarin asked what she already suspected. “You knew they were coming, didn’t you?”Qwend looked down. “I’ve been feeling eyes on us for at least a month now.”Jarin must have looked as surprised as she felt, because Qwend added, “I know maybe I should have told you, but there was no point in making you worry. There was nothing you could have done. Besides, I didn’t want to say anything in case I was wrong.”Jarin didn’t know how to respond to that, and she saw that Qwend was looking confused as well, as if trying to make up his mind about something. Finally he said, “There’s quite a few things you need to know Jarin.”“About why they’re after you?” she asked.“Us,” Qwend nodded. “If this means what I think it does, then my greatest fears have come true. Jarin, until I say differently, don’t use any magic, no matter what. Our only hope of escape is to stay hidden for as long as we can.”Shocked, Jarin had to ask. “What does this all mean?”Qwend looked straight at her and told her more in one moment about his past than he ever had in her entire life. “My son has become the leader of the Children. To make if official, I have to be dead. In order to ensure no one can usurp his reign, you must die as well.”
