Grendor is thrust out of his remote village by his father, who is frantic for his young son's safety as they come under attack. Now, suddenly, desperate and alone, the boy happens upon a solitary witch and her faithful, knighted husband who decide to help him. As he ages, Grendor is immersed into a series of life changing experiences with a vast array of different, fantastic creatures and individuals both benign and malicious. Meanwhile, a lurking evil grows from a faraway distance that threatens everyone and everything throughout the lands. Grendor unearths a powerful artifact that, if he can control, will help prevent the wickedness from consuming all, but will he be strong enough to do so, or will the power be too great for him to handle? The Power Within is the first book in The Jenicar Archives series.
