The siege of Kerbryhaine had been raised, the Ekwesh hordes vanquished, the Mastersmith slain. But for Alv - now Elof the Smith - the war was not yet won: Kerbryhaine was still a divided city; the Ekwesh, bloodily defeated, would look for revenge; and the Ice, implacably malevolent, continued its inexorable march southward. So from divided Kerbryhaine Elof, Kermorvan and his companions mounted an expedition to the legendary lost cities of the East; if they managed to reunite the war-torn tribes, perhaps they could stand together against the menace of the Ice. But to Elof and Kermorvan the journey would also bring knowledge: of the Powers ranged for and against them; and the secrets within themselves waiting to be revealed - secrets that would play a part in the war yet to come.

Malevolent magic rises in the forest. Will Donnell’s own growing powers be enough to meet the threat? It has been a few months since the Battle of Cardhu. Donnell is preparing the villagers, anticipating further incursions from the Norse encampment on the coast. But the attacks, when they come, are from Donnell’s beloved forest. What is causing normally peaceful beasts to behave in this way? Who is equipping the boggles with bows? Healer Fenella wants to retrieve the stolen white stone of Lugh. Balance won't be restored until her circle of druids is reformed. Donnell is torn – Cardhu is vulnerable. The stone lies in the hands of the enemy Iohric: retrieving it will be a perilous mission. But when they find out what he intends to do with it, there doesn’t seem to be much choice at all. The thrilling second instalment of the Druid Stones Saga.

This book tells the story of Terania Creek – the world’s first direct action blockade in defence of a forest, occurring in Australia in 1979. Contrary to claims that the Australian counterculture was a mere imitation of overseas models, the Australian movement, coalescing with a home-grown environment movement, came of age at Terania Creek. After five years of ‘polite’ campaigning failed to stop the logging of ancient Gondwanan rainforest, an organic and spontaneous blockade erupted that would see the forging of a number of ingenious blockading techniques and strategies. The activist repertoire developed at Terania Creek has since echoed across the country, and across the Earth. This book draws on extensive oral history interviews as well as photographs taken of the protest in 1979; such rich source material brings the story to life. Terania Creek and the Forging of Modern Environmental Activism will therefore appeal to both a scholarly audience as well as activists, practitioners, and counterculturalists.
