About the Book
Drew Karpyshyn has made his mark with imaginative, action-packed work on several acclaimed videogames, including Mass Effect and Star Wars:
Knights of the Old Republic, as well as in a succession of New York Times bestselling tie-in novels. Now Karpyshyn introduces a brilliantly
innovative epic fantasy of perilous quests, tormented heroes, and
darkest sorcery — a thrilling adventure that vaults him into the company
of such authors as Terry Goodkind, Brandon Sanderson, and Peter V.
Brett.
Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their
agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of
Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical
Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his
command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled
with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the
Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In
the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was
sealed off behind the Legacy — a magical barrier the gods sacrificed
themselves to create.
Now the Legacy is fading. On the other
side, the banished Daemron stirs. And across the scattered corners of
the land, four children are born of suffering and strife, each touched
by one aspect of Daemron himself — wizard, warrior, prophet, king.
Bound by a connection deeper than blood, the Children of Fire will
either restore the Legacy or bring it crashing down, freeing Daemron to
wreak his vengeance upon the mortal world.
