Thomas Kestrel must choose between the life he wants and a duty to his people. Both are threatened by an ancient evil that only he can stop. Is he willing to risk everything?

Even though he has yet to master the ways of the Talent, Thomas commits himself to fighting the evil of the Shadow Lord and to destroying the beasts who poison the land. Knowing that he must pass three challenges to join the Sylvan Warriors -- an ancient, almost forgotten order pledged to fight the Shadow Lord, he still can’t escape the call of his homeland.

Learning that the High King is enslaving the Highlanders, Thomas devises a scheme to help.Unfortunately, his plans implode, and Thomas must choose between killing the man responsible for the pain and suffering of his people or saving an innocent.
