ARIAN'S WAY: TO THE SORROWS OF PERSIDIA BOOK I Thirteen years have elapsed since Parsifal and Shanara's triumphant return with the truth to the Kingdom of Nehemia. During that time, under the expert eye of the mighty Pasadaynian, their young brother Arian excels in his training in the ways of the warrior and is ready for initiation into the service of his kingdom as King's Champion. But a brooding evil seems to be assailing Nehemians and Zennarians. Sudden death, disappearance, and terror sweep down on them from every direction without provocation. Accordingly, Arian embarks on a search for the scourge whose trail leads him to Mykon and thence to Persidia where he joins forces with Zogan the Terrible. Arian launches a series of relentless campaigns in attempt to redeem the honor of his people as well as that of the Persidians. However, undercurrents are as swift as calm waters are treacherous in the Land of Eternal Mist. Victory leaves Arian somber and empty; and vengeance leaves his heart cold and sorrowful without Glenore-aye, Glenore of the Fearful Heart. And although he balks before the force of the squall of fate, he faces his future in the only way he knows: Arian's Way.
