Opis

On the planet Everos, a young boy, Trill, is being raised along the eastern shoreline of Funderling, one of two principle continents, by Balthus, his aging warrior father. They live in the shadow of the Sea of Colors, a hypnotic, swirling mass, about which little is known, but much is speculated. While Balthus is away, Trill is kidnapped by raiders, forcing the father to pick up arms again, and embark on a desperate rescue mission. But there is a secret about these raiders that neither father nor son will be able to believe. Meanwhile, on the other side of Funderling, in the stark, pitiless mountain range the Sheer Teeth, a nameless orphan is being raised by the much-feared cult of assassins called the Dark Sky Brotherhood. Being schooled in the deadly arts, he has a part to play in the bloody history that will shortly be written. His life is intertwined with that of Trill...though neither boy knows it yet. The first volume of the Rogue series follows the events that lead these two youths to become the anti-heroes of a chaotic time in their planet's history. From opposite ends of Funderling, they must eventually meet in the middle...in the Capital, The High Seat, where their destinies will be revealed to them by the half-mad wizard, Mentor, who has orchestrated their pairing. This novel is an introduction to the world of Everos, and some of the denizens which dwell there. It is a place of myth and monster, of magic and steel, of revelation and deceit...a place of high adventure.
