About the book:
Taran Elijah's quest
for knowledge uncovers a plot that threatens the world. In Albia, the fourth
realm, the precious Artesan gift is dying. Although born to the craft, Taran is
struggling to achieve his potential. Against his friends' advice, he embarks on
a foolhardy plan to acquire the teaching he craves. Alone, he crosses into
Andaryon, the fifth realm, but instead of finding a mentor, he stumbles upon a
treacherous plot. In the wake of Taran's actions, Albia suffers a series of
vicious raids. Major Sullyan of the High King's forces is sent to oppose them.
But a dark and treacherous force is moving through the realms and both Taran
and Sullyan will feel its power. Their craft, the lives of their friends, the
very existence of their realm are under threat unless they expose and oppose
the evil.

The review --
This book is very well
written and very well edited also. It has a cast of fascinating characters that
totally draw you in. This is no. 1 of a series, and not a standalone book, but
it is a very good book. The book, to a great extent, serves as an introduction
to the characters and the setting of the book. It is a series well worth
checking out.
