NEEDLE & LEAF BOOK THREE
A father and son flee dark and dangerous men seeking out the boy and his seemingly bottomless well of soul-searing magic.
But Jovan will stop at nothing, including journeying into the proverbial bear’s cave to ask the criminal underworld to stop, by any means necessary, for even the chance at a normal life for the boy.
Despite the wearying road and darkness found around every corner, Needle and Leaf is a rich tale of found family, a stoic and loving father, and the road that binds travelers together.
“Steeped in a wealth of slavic folklore, Thrice is a deeply personal story of a reluctant father and a mysterious child in his care.” — Graham McNeill, NY Times Bestselling Author of A Thousand Sons
“A beautifully descriptive fantasy tale that reveals true magic lies in a chosen family, built on a father’s pure, unconditional love — the strongest magic of all.” — The Nerdy Narrative
“Thrice is a deeply personal and touching tale and serves as a beautiful vehicle for Andrew D. Meredith’s poignant storytelling.”
— Dr. John Mauro, Grimdark Magazine
From the dark Medveles in the north, down through the sourthern-most forests and mountains, Balatar is a small continent, rich in arable land. In many ways, the communties are islands adrift in farmland and dark forests filled with foreboding creatures.
“Rich in its simplicity, this book reads like an old fairytale, full of strange creatures, heroes and villains, and a little boy with far too much magic.”
— Tori Tecken, author of The Blood Stones“Meredith continues to weave in even more magic and fantastical creatures into this story while also showing a deep love between a father and son.”
— K.E. Andrews, author of Hills of Heather and Bone“With efficiency in his writing, emotion in the characters, and danger looming in every chapter, Meredith ends this trilogy in remarkable fashion. The stakes are raised without losing the delightful charm of previous books. The world grows bigger, the gods are more bizarre, and the characters have more heart than you would have imagined. This is a finale you won’t want to miss.” — iSamwise
