Armorica
Joseph Hughes
From the back cover: The world was formed betwixt darkness and light. Into this realm, we humans were born...Fifty years ago, Armorica stood on the brink of destruction, held at the throat by daemons and their cohorts. An unlikely alliance of heroes arose, sending the aggressors back to the hell from which they had come. Now, long after the Daemon War has ended, the signs return, hinting of an unforeseen darkness approaching on the horizon. Boryn Mhinbron, a mischievous young street thief living in the capital city of Dusgoroth, makes a single impulsive choice that triggers a whirlwind of change. Accompanied by his friends on a perilous journey to manhood, Boryn encounters power and pride, evil and honor, justice and redemption - and he begins to uncover the role each must play as he walks the blurry line between light and dark. Lighthearted at times, grim at others, Armoiica is a sweeping, complex high fantasy in the spirit of Tolkien with a fast, exciting pace. Enter the world. Meet its inhabitants. This is only the beginning . . .
