Ibrida

They came from the desert with treasures to share . . . but it was just a ruse. In B.H. Malcolm's first book in the fantasy series Ibrida: Restoration of the Natural Order, aided by a supernatural corruption, the evil Seram attempt to conquer the entire Gatwe Belt continent. After gaining financial footholds and pretending to be good neighbors, the charade drops, and entire villages are slaughtered and the children dragged off into slavery. The Seram's brutality and advanced military tactics take the governments by surprise. In the forests, the ibrida, a species of hybrid animal-humans slowly disappear. What has become of the missing? No one knows. Heroes rise and unite in the only place left where an advantage is possible: the vast and tropical rainforest, where protection is not just physical. Zimena's Forest is a special place, under the gaze of the Ancient. It is here that these brave warriors make their first and, perhaps, final stand.Can they restore the natural order, or will a darkness overshadow the land and destroy all in its wake?
