Beckoned by dreams to a distant shore, Master Oh’Raum Yulr, keeper of ancient knowledge, must journey with an unlikely companion to find answers. What they discover is a martyred king, an invading enemy, and the key to a thousand-year-old legend which could change the future.What forgotten magic lies hidden deep in the world’s shadowy places? What power binds the fates of those closest to the old wizard? What destiny awaits the world when the sleeper awakens?
Not since LOTR have I read so well imagined a world. Sure it's got an old wizard, a young apprentice, and a dark legend come to life. But, well written complex characters, a great story, and surprising plot twists set it head and shoulders above the pack. This book is a MUST-READ for any fantasy fan and an enjoyable read for all.
