SeaTree II - Larry McGarr

The tree chose Lucas Michaels to be its guardian. He's still learning what that means.

Only two months after the plane crash that nearly killed him and his daughter, Laura, Lucas has built the life he never thought possible. He's married to Chrissy, the woman who saw past his brokenness. Twins are on the way. Laura is learning to control gifts that shouldn't exist-teleportation, moving between worlds, becoming the bridge the ancient tree always knew she'd be. The ordeal with drug lord and human trafficker Abe Abrahamson is in the past...or is it?

The tree beneath MacBride Mountain pulses with quiet power, hidden from a world that would destroy what it doesn't understand. Its secrets are safe.

Until they're not.

A social media influencer stumbles upon what he believes is a cover-up and sets in motion a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government. Corrupt officials suspect there is something otherworldly inside MacBride Mountain. A Pentagon-backed team is coming to extract it. No one knows what it is that lies beneath the mountain, but they are determined to use it for power and profit. And Lucas discovers that being a guardian means making choices that will cost him more than he imagined.

New allies emerge. Alex Drakos, a former Army Ranger-turned-chaplain, arrives seeking purpose and finds family. Sarah Maxwell discovers her own connection to something ancient. And together, the Council must answer one question:

How much are you willing to sacrifice to protect a miracle?

Book two in the SeaTree series picks up where the first book left off.
