The gods, makers of worlds, seek to create balance—between matter and
energy; and between mortals who strive toward the transcendent, and the
natural perils they must tame or overcome. But one of the gods fashions a
world filled with hellish creatures far too powerful to allow balance;
he is condemned to live for eternity with his most hateful creations in
that world’s distant Bourne, restrained by a magical veil kept vital by
the power of song.
Millennia pass, awareness of the hidden
danger fades to legend, and both song and veil weaken. And the most
remote cities are laid waste by fell, nightmarish troops escaped from
the Bourne. Some people dismiss the attacks as mere rumor. Instead of
standing against the real threat, they persecute those with the
knowledge, magic and power to fight these abominations, denying the
inevitability of war and annihilation. And the evil from the Bourne
swells….
The troubles of the world seem far from the Hollows
where Tahn Junell struggles to remember his lost childhood and to
understand words he feels compelled to utter each time he draws his bow.
Trouble arrives when two strangers—an enigmatic man wearing the sigil
of the feared Order of Sheason and a beautiful woman of the legendary
Far—come, to take Tahn, his sister and his two best friends on a
dangerous, secret journey.
Tahn knows neither why nor where they
will go. He knows only that terrible forces have been unleashed upon
mankind and he has been called to stand up and face that which most
daunts him—his own forgotten secrets and the darkness that would destroy
him and his world.
