But when no one will listen, his foresight isn’t enough to save his not-yet-a-girlfriend-but-already-his-best-friend Kalry. So when an officer comes galloping into the village with warnings of slavers on the way, Aedan is the first to suspect the man might not be the ally he seems. Our hero, Aedan, is not yet thirteen but he has a sharp mind, and he’s had a hard life, which makes him wise beyond those few years. And, as many a fantasy tale contains, there are swords, courageous heroes, battles to be fought (and sometimes with large, very toothy creatures), and evil not yet here but lurking ominously. This might, at first glance, seem to be your typical boy-meets-girl, boy-dares-girl-to-jump-off-of-a-thousand-foot-high-bridge-into-the-icy-cold-stream-below-and-girl-shows-him-up- by-actually-doing-it story. ![]()
