Ellion had not killed him, though everyone believed that. In a last trick of mischief, his old friend had carried out his "execution for treason" by turning his body to stone. Now, hundreds of years later, Saron has awakened with a sword pulled out of his chest by a young Fae girl. In this world 200 years later, the young Fae girl wears a collar of slavery to the humans, like many of the rest of his magical brethren. They had traded safety for freedom; slavery for "security." Were they that afraid of the Corruption? Should they be?

Saron was in a brand new world and needed to find the answers that could free the Fae; and even protect the humans that enslaved them. But had the ancient menace from the Great War that had been unleashed grown more powerful? Was slavery a better choice than madness and destruction?

Saron was a story teller, not a hero; now it seemed as if he was the main character. Time to find some answers.

- I was proud to write this summary for Prince Corwin. He is a young author whose skill is obviously growing and whose imagination is thrilling. Just read the first chapter and see if you can "put the book down." -Oberon King
