The Next Great Fantasy Epic is here! For fans of Ranger's Apprentice and the Chr
onicles of Narnia. Everyone in Moorvale believes the legend: The brave knight Tr
istan and the famed wizard Vithric, in an epic battle decades ago, had defeated
the evil Nethergrim and his minions. To this day, songs are sung and festivals h
eld in the heroes' honor. Yet now something dark has crept over the village. Fir
st animals disappear, their only remains a pile of bones licked clean. Then some
thing worse: children disappear. The whispers begin quietly yet soon turn into a
shout: The Nethergrim has returned! Edmund's brother is one of the missing, and
Edmund knows he must do something to save his life. But what? Though a student
of magic, he struggles to cast even the simplest spell. Still, he and his friend
s swallow their fear and set out to battle an ancient evil whose powers none of
them can imagine. They will need to come together--and work apart--in ways that
will test every ounce of resolve.
