Book description
Long ago, in a distant land, a lonely young man struggles to discover
who he is and where he belongs. He carries the blood and magic of two
peoples, a sword of unimaginable power, and a staggering potential for
great good . . . or greater evil. In the land of Corona, the roads are
unsafe to travel, as goblins and bloodthirsty Powries seek out human
prey; and, in this savage world, princes feast while peasants starve,
and two religions battle for control. A monk, Bran Dynard, returns from
his mission in a far-off land with two prizes: a book of mystical
knowledge and a new wife, the beautiful and mystical Sen Wi. But the
world he left behind has changed, and Bran must now decide who he can
trust, and where he should place his faith . . .
R. A. Salvatore is a New York Times bestseller and author of
The Ancient, also set in the fabulous world of Corona.
