About this ebook
A young boy's dreams of glory and war turn into a bitter nightmare as his father's kingdom is overrun by an invading army. Lost and alone in the woods, he finds an ancient sword that promises him the ability to claim his vengeance. As he begins to take that vengeance, he comes to realize the price that the sword will demand of him. Enemies soon become allies and strange bedfellows abound as the prophesies of an age swirl into chaos.

This story starts slow, and like the protagonist, feeling a little immature. But it is a Glen Cook story so don't be impatient because like the Swordbearer it gains maturity quickly. You know it is a good story when you hate it coming to an end, leaving you wanting more and more. Now I'm just going to go find a book by Glen Cook I haven't read already. I know when I find it, it will be good!

Love Cook but no development of anything. Super thin
