King Tylus, newly chosen by the ancient Staff of Light, senses a disquieting darkness creeping across the Kingdom of Elafris. His uncanny ability to sense the right path leads him to steal away from the capital incognito to seek out its source. He joins up with what he believes is a common band of mercenaries but soon discovers he travels with the only Blade of the Tenth House in existence. She is Callie, an elite warrior from the island kingdom of Kytheria whose skill with a sword saves his life numerous times on the road. He knows there’s more to her than appearances would dictate, but what that is he doesn’t know. Tylus might be the one traveling incognito, but he isn’t the only one keeping a secret.
GREAT STORY. Seriously. This was a classic story and a great read. I highly recommend it for readers young and old. It wasn't too heavy and dark and had excellent characters. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
