Other editions of book Curse of the Seer

Everyone thinks Eli is afraid of the dark, and they’re right. But it’s not because he can’t see in the dark; it’s because he can. After his father is murdered by kingsguard mice, Eli is tortured and condemned to death. With the help of Tira-Nor’s old seer, AlBaer, Eli escapes his executioners and discovers that his mother, who was sold into slavery in Cadrid years before, may still be alive. Finding and saving her becomes his passion, but can he survive slavery, cruel taskmasters, foreign armies, the hatred of his own people, and even death itself? AlBaer can’t—or won’t—protect him from the supernatural evil that stalks him, and Eli must try to unravel the seer’s curse alone.

King Ahaz accused my Master - the seer of Tira-Nor, Albear, Maker of Miracles-of high treason. King Ahaz said Albear was to blame for the drought that ruined the city. He told everyone that my Master had bewitched the sun, that rain would not come again until the seer gave the word. He called him "Albear the Accursed" and told the mice of Tira-Nor that he was using his unearthly powers to dry up the heavens, crack the earth, wither the berries of the Dark Forest, and throttle the neck of the White River. He even called my Master a foul prophet and tool of the ancient God, ElShua. King Ahaz was right.
