Description
The first book in this fantasy series begins the epic struggle of mortals and immortals against an ancient evil as it rises again. It focuses on the immortals in the land of Afallon and the dark night that falls upon them as they struggle against their old adversary, called once brother and friend, who seeks to continue his quest to dominate all the mortal worlds and ensnares some of his kin to join him.Notes the immortal historian-scribe of these dark times: Grieved I grows my hand far more accustomed to holding a blade rather than a quill as delighted my heart in days of peace. But no more those days. Pray I to Athair, the One above all, come they again and walk I in the bright light of my homeland once more. For now, stand my brothers and sisters and I in the darkness of a world at war. Reigns now lament and stout-hearted purpose in our hearts, the clash of blades in the halls, the splash of blood on the stones. Fight we once more, kin against kin, as our great adversary rises again to trouble our fair land of Afallon and seek to crush us and the mortal worlds under the cruel fist of his domination. In spare breathing spaces between one battle and the next, pen I this tale by oil lamp and moonlight. Win must we, mortal and immortal, if our lands and peoples are not to be cast into ever-lasting night. Athair have mercy.
