Fantasy book about 3 travelers

[Knivves777]

I read this book about 2005. It was about a woman and 2 men. The woman had nothing out of the ordinary i could remember, but the 2 men were assassins or something of the sort. The three somehow get trapped in this magic tree that puts them in this kind of limbo realm where they are trapped fighting to survive for hundreds of years only to emerge in their own world about a thousand years in the future with abilities and weapons theyd acquired from the other realm. I do remember the girl had a flaming sword and one of the men had the ability to sence things from a large distance away.
Thats honestly all i can remember.

Have another try a few years later and enjoyed it.

I just finished that book. It took them over a thousand years into the future but the trip only seemed to last a few hundred to me. I've started the second one I certainly don't hope for a repeat of that experience.
