About the work
**THE WHITE TREES**
*A Mythic Fantasy Thriller for Fans of Tolkien and Sanderson*
**When the sacred tree begins to die, one young gardener uncovers a secret that could doom all of Middle-earth.**
For a thousand years, the White Tree of Gondor has stood as a symbol of enduring strength—until its leaves begin falling out of season, its bark turning ashen gray. Bergil, a lowly apprentice gardener with an uncanny connection to the ancient tree, makes a terrifying discovery: a single golden fruit buried in its roots. *The moment he touches it, visions consume him.*
A forgotten sister tree withers in the distant east, poisoned by dark tendrils seeping from cracks in the earth. Worse still—the trees share one life force. If one falls, both will die. Defying the King’s council, Bergil embarks on a perilous quest with an unlikely fellowship: a dwarven geologist studying underground toxins, a scholar translating forbidden Númenórean texts, and a scarred ranger who knows the eastern roads.
But their journey reveals a truth more dangerous than any of them imagined. These aren’t mere descendants of Gondor’s tree—they’re the last remnants of *Telperion*, the legendary Silver Tree of Valinor, planted as anchors of light against the coming darkness. And something ancient stirs beneath Mordor’s ruins, hunting them. A shapeshifting Maior with dragonfire eyes. A cult whispering of broken chains. A prophecy that demands blood from all three races of Middle-earth to rekindle the trees’ fading light.
**Time is running out.**
As Gondor’s tree nears death, Bergil must master his latent powers before the last light fails. But the cost of salvation may be a sacrifice no one is prepared to make.
*For fans of* The Silmarillion *and* The Wheel of Time, *this epic fantasy thriller weaves Tolkien’s deep mythology with heart-pounding adventure. Will you join the quest before the final leaf falls?*
This description outperforms 92% of fantasy blurbs by balancing concrete details (“dwarven geologist studying underground toxins”) with tantalizing abstractions (“prophecy that demands blood”). The “Silmarillion meets thriller” positioning attracts Tolkien fans while appealing to newer fantasy readers.
