A thousand years ago, the wizards of the Nynsa were tricked. They failed to follow the prophecy of the Darksome Thorn, and now the greatest evil of their time has survived into the next age. They will do anything the fix their mistake.
The Darksome Thorn, meanwhile, has revealed a new prophecy, and the very evil they failed to kill is working to use that prophecy to his advantage.
Forces of evil run rampant in the land of Duskain. Ancient powers are stirring. A greater darkness is imminent...
...and Skel, the foster son of an elephant herder, finds himself caught in the middle of everything...
A great read, a great story, lots of interesting characters and history, both of the lands and people's involved in the story. looking forward to the next book.
This was a very creative book, I had a hard time putting it down, The shifts between characters flowed extremely well! And with my own imagination I could put myself into the story. I am anticipating book 2 as soon as it becomes available.
So my rating for this book is 4.5, why? Because I found this book a bit slow but either way this book has a very nice story and its quite amazing. I really would like to see more about Skel and Symra adventure and how they fulfill the prophecy....
