Book description
Lavan Chitward is a very unhappy young man; pulled away from his
country home by his parents' ambitions and resettled in the big city of
Haven, he is desperately lonely, bullied and beaten at school, ignored
by his parents. It is not surprising that he falls ill -- but his
illness is the first manifestation of a terrible power, the Gift of the
Firestorm, a power which can and does kill. If controlled, the Gift of
the Firestorm can save Valdemar, but if it is uncontrolled, it will
destroy the country -- and him. Chosen by the Companion Kalira, brought
into the ranks of the Heralds of Valdemar, Lavan finds acceptance and
hope for the first time. But war with Karse threatens to engulf the
Kingdom and only Lavan Firestorm stands between Valdemar and destruction
-- and only then if he can harness his dreadful power to his will.
