Can Paldarch the Wizard restore the Sword of Pengyron to its rightful heir? Only with this enchanted weapon can the young monarch Huan Brynan be victorious over the forces of darkness. But Brynan must know enlightenment, experience love and sadness and realise the eternal power of magic, before he is worthy of leading the knights of his realm to a great victory. A veteran chronicler of myth and legend, Gordon Strong creates a vivid world of the imagination. This gripping tale transcends all limits of time and space to become a reflection of the spiritual world in our own era.
