Set in the Paleolithic era, the story immerses readers in a vivid world where Neanderthals, early humans, and ancient magical races must unite to confront a looming evil.
At the heart of the tale is Uruk, a Neanderthal chieftain, and his twin nephews, who are thrust into a transformative journey of courage and self-discovery. As their people face extinction, they form unlikely alliances with Elves, Dwarves, and Elwen to battle a dark sorcerer threatening to destroy what remains of their world. The action unfolds across the striking terrain of the Central and Northern Highlands, filled with towering mountains and lush forests, brought to life through Jones’ rich and immersive storytelling. The Bittergrass Badlands, while mentioned in the story, are not the main setting—they are where the Neanderthals were driven by the Humans in the past, before the events of the book take place.
“Inspiration for the book came from my lifelong love of the outdoors and the beauty of nature,” says Jones. “Through this story, I hope readers find not only adventure but also a deeper connection to their own personal journeys through life’s wilderness.”
Jones brings a unique background to his writing. With a professional career in large-scale construction management, he is no stranger to detailed narratives, having written extensively for architects, engineers, and industry leaders. This technical foundation translates into his fiction, offering a story that is as meticulously crafted as it is emotionally resonant.
The Wind in the Forest Book 1: The Star of Light is an ideal read for fans of historical fiction, high fantasy, and heroic quests. With themes of transformation, unity, and redemption, the novel explores what it means to find strength in diversity and courage in the face of extinction.
For readers ready to embark on a sweeping adventure through a world both ancient and enchanted, Peter H. Jones’ debut offers a journey worth taking.
