Summary

Secrets revealed. Powers unleashed. A legend in the making....

It is said that Paxon Leah is descended from the royals and warriors who once waged war with magical weapons. But those heroes are long gone now, and there is nothing enchanted about the antique sword that hangs above Paxon's fireplace. Little does Paxon know though, that extraordinary circumstances are about to overturn his simple world...and rewrite his destiny.

From the international best-selling author Terry Brooks comes a thrilling new adventure - and an unforgettable new hero.

If you haven't read Terry Brooks, you haven't read fantasy (Christopher Paolini, author of ERAGON)
