About this ebook
Bestselling author R A Salvatore takes us back to his fantasy world of Corona, introducing a fascinating new hero destined to become a legend
Long ago, in a distant land, a lonely young man struggles to discover who he is and where he belongs. He carries the blood and magic of two peoples, a sword of unimaginable power, and a staggering potential for great good... Or greater evil.

A monk, Bran Dynard, returns from his mission in a far-off land with two prizes: a book of mystical knowledge and a new wife, the beautiful and mystical Sen Wi. But the world he left behind has changed, and Bran must now decide who he can trust, and where he should place his faith...

I knew nothing about this book but had read other stories by this author. This book did not dissapoint, in fact the only dissapointing thing is that I can't get the rest of the series. I loved it!
