Publisher's Synopsis
When one day ripped from his peaceful nomadic lifestyle and forced to flee for his life along with his teacher and two friends, Zhenlar Maarinthus is plunged into a life and reality of which he can only dream. When he was no more than a newborn, Zhenlar's ancestral home was attacked and his elusive race was all but eradicated. Now, as the fires of war begin to spread over the world of Cerraterra, Zhenlar discovers that he is the only one who can prevent it. He is the Lore Master of Erenden, a champion appointed by gods, cultivated by battle, and bred for war. Now Zhenlar must master not only his powers to fulfill his ancient duty to defend the world, but also his own spirit, as rage and ancient magic he does not fully understand threaten to overtake him. The battle has begun and little does Zhenlar know that more than just the outcome of a war could hinge upon his success or failure, or that victory in this struggle could prove to be just as dangerous as defeat.
