Returning from his banishment, the Baladron, a sinister reptilian wizard, seeks retribution for past wrongs, forcing a legendary Weaponsmaster to train an endangered orphan, Flyn Toleran, in the ancient art of weapons lore. Despite being continually hunted by seedy Thieves' Guild assassins, the gifted young man strives for a normal life. In time, his true purpose as leader and Weaponsmaster arise, making him the vanguard in the hunt against evil. When dragons and dark magic take hold, Flyn undertakes more than his training has prepared him for. Will his fragile alignment with the Dwarven race, an obstinate blacksmith, an exquisite young woman and a naive boy with a knack for the spectacular be enough? For out of a mysterious shroud of fog marches an undead enemy wielding paralyzing black blades; and the Knatkaki, outcast Elves, who travel through the evil currents of the land and attack mercilessly. Join Flyn as he sets off on the adventure of a lifetime; one that will change the face of his future forever. "
