eBook
The adventure continues…Two years have passed since the children traveled through the Forest on their first visit. It’s time for a new adventure. Jacob is startled by a huge eagle named Elegy when he climbs a tree at his grandparents’ farm. The great bird brings a message from Wisdom saying that they will be met by someone special that night.They tell their parents that they want to sleep on the sunporch in a pretend camp-out, and when the hour comes, then quietly leave the house and gather in the “football” field beyond the trees. The moonlight is almost as bright as day, and they see a shape taking form and shimmering in the light. They join hands with a beautiful woman, and they are instantly transported to the shore of The Ocean at the Edge of Forever.The Fairwinds, the beautiful white schooner, is waiting for them, and Michael is there to greet them. Jacob rushes up the gangplank to hug his huge First Mate from The Forest at the End of the World, and they begin a remarkable journey over the most incredible ocean anyone could imagine, visiting unique and other-worldly islands where there are new and wonderful things to see, encounters with those they grew to love on their first visit, and profound lessons to be learned.The silent woman who leads them is Gloria, sister to the lovely Grace, who does not speak at all, but who sings like no other in the universe! What they learn leads them through absolutely incredible places towards the ultimate destination where all will be revealed, but where they cannot go until everything is complete. The ocean is vast, indeed, and its truths are far deeper than they experienced in the Forest at the End of the World, but the greatest truth of all waits for them in the final book of the trilogy.These are just the beginning of their experiences, and there is far more to their adventures as they continue. The islands on the Ocean are filled with wonders in this second book of the Tales of Forever trilogy, and they come together once again as they encounter some of the most wondrous creatures they could meet, and learn lessons about how things appear, and what they really look like, the deeper meaning of love, and the role the Son plays in the Kingdom.Jacob not only learns about the height of trees, and the King’s love in creating them, but he also discovers that he has a Guardian, a being so powerful that all the armies of the Earth could not overcome him. Delaney sees the sisters Grace and Gloria together, and she learns that The Song they first experienced in The Forest at the End of the World, is so powerful that it overwhelms her. Dylan has a hilarious and laughed-filled time with Harold, Arnold and Turtle, his friends who appeared to him as dinosaurs in Book One. This time, there is a knight, a squire, two horses and a lake involved. John Luke meets relatives who served as soldiers, and his understanding of war and conflict take on a whole new dimension.They learn to fly through the air, walk on water, and to move at the greatest speed of all – the speed of thought: the fastest speed in the universe. They understand there are no limitations in the Kingdom, and that the Riddle is true for everyone in the Kingdom. “…when you don’t know what to do, call upon the King.”At book’s end, the stage is set for the greatest adventure of all, but you must journey on, dear reader, to the final book in the Tales of Forever trilogy: The Mountain of the King. For now, read on…and lose yourself in the beauty and splendor of The Ocean at the Edge of Forever!
