Shadows Fall

by Ryan Graudin

It has been said that the most dangerous evil is the one that masquerades itself as good. The country of Telenar soon discovers this truth after it opens its arms to Elfrith, a conniving "Prophetess" of the Light. General Uben'dar is the only man with the discernment and courage to stand up to the sorceress, but her grip on the land and its king is too strong. With the banishment of Uben'dar and his loyal men into the northlands, the grace of the Light also abandons Telenar to the sorceress's brutal reign.Years pass. Elfrith continues her vicious takeover of neighboring countries, until one day a dying prophetess warns "The blood of Uben'dar shall be your end." Terrified of dying, the sorceress begins a campaign to wipe out all of the General's descendants. Her cruel magic ravages the Northlands, destroying everything in its path. But one boy escapes...
