The air stilled. The room fell silent. A shockwave passed through them. Everyone froze, faces white with fear. The ancient evil had awakened…
When he loses his brother to an assassin’s arrow, Alexander discovers that his family descends from an ancient bloodline – a line bound by a curse to stand against the coming darkness.
Before he can claim his birthright, he must recover the Thinblade. Seven were forged by the first Sovereign of the Seven Isles. Each is as long as a man’s arm, as wide as a man’s thumb and so thin it can’t be seen from the edge.
Pursued by minions of an ancient evil, Alexander reluctantly finds himself at the center of a war that was supposed to have ended millennia ago. Failure will kill him. Success will transform him. The Seven Isles hangs in the balance.
