The Valley of the Roots by LeBron Keener (Signed Paperback)

Hidden beneath the tangled roots of an ancient oak tree lies a secret the world was never meant to see.
When Daniel Mercer discovers a tiny village thriving deep within the forest floor, he believes at first that he must be imagining things. The villagers are no larger than grains of rice, living quiet lives in homes carved from bark and moss between the enormous roots of the tree they call home.
But the village is real.
As Daniel continues to visit the hidden settlement, he becomes something the tiny people have never known before. A giant protector. Some of the villagers begin to see him as a guardian sent by fate. Others fear that his presence will bring danger.
And danger is already coming.
When a logging crew arrives to clear the forest for a new development, the ancient oak tree that shelters the tiny village is marked for destruction. To the outside world it is only a tree. To the villagers it is their entire world.
Now Daniel must decide how far he is willing to go to protect a civilization that no one else even believes exists.
The Valley of the Roots is a haunting and imaginative tale about belief, power, and the fragile worlds that exist just beyond human sight.
