Maybe being a tree isn’t so bad after all. Ashlock wakes in the courtyard of a demonic sect… as a tree. A tree that eats people. Despite being in a different body than the demonic young masters cultivating on the mountain peaks around him, he has the same goal-to be the strongest in all the realms and survive the coming beast tides. But his man-eating ways can only go unnoticed for so long, and those around him will soon grow suspicious. Now, Ashlock’s only chance of survival is to grow faster and stronger than any tree has ever done in the history of the nine realms!
