Book description
The Earth King, Gaborn Val Orden, has roamed to the ends of the known
world to preserve his people, but the life-draining powers he has
embraced have finally taken their toll. His death leaves his young son
Fallion at the mercy of his enemies. But Fallion is no ordinary prince,
with no ordinary enemies, but is a reincarnation of an immensely
powerful immortal. Known as the torch-bearer, Fallion is fated to engage
with an ancient evil across the many ages of his existence. Now, without
his father's protection, powerful supernatural forces will seek to
prevent him waking to his full powers - and the land of the Runelords
will become their battlefield. At stake is not just a single world and
Gaborn's hard-won legacy of peace, but the very foundations of creation
… David Farland has worked as a prison guard, missionary, business
manager, technical writer and pie maker, but now writes full-time. He
lives in Utah with his wife and five children.
