Hyam
is a likeable lad who will make a fine farmer someday. But he carries a burden
few can fathom. As his mother slips toward death, she implores him to return to
Long Hall, where he spent five years as an apprentice. It was there that Hyam's
extraordinary capacity for mastering languages came to light--and soon cast him
into the shadows of suspicion.
How
could any human learn the forbidden tongues with such ease? When Hyam dares to
seek out the Mistress of the Sorceries, her revelation tears his world asunder.
He
has no choice but to set out on the foreboding path--which beckons him to
either his destiny or his doom. An encounter with an enchanting stranger
reminds him that he is part hero and part captive. As Hyam struggles to
interpret the omens and symbols, he is swept up by a great current of
possibilities--and dangers.
With
lyrical prose that unveils a richly imaginative world, Thomas Locke takes
readers on a journey into the Realm. There he invites them to awaken their
sense of wonder. This cracking adventure moves like a contemporary thriller but
harkens back to the enduring genre of classic fantasy.
Life for Hyam is bittersweet. Admired by the citizens
of Falmouth for his heroic rescue mission, he cherishes these peaceful days
with Joelle by his side. Yet grief over the loss of his magical skills during
the great Battle of Emporis threatens to engulf him. Sometimes he even wishes
he had never known magic at all.
When Hyam comes into possession of an ancient
Milantian scroll, he is thrilled to feel the surge of power that courses
through him whenever he touches it. But what he discerns in the text could mean
war. He embarks upon another journey to determine its true meaning and
forestall any attack. But as Hyam is seeking answers, he is unaware that the
merchant of Alyss is seeking him…
The
epic adventure, begun by author Thomas Locke with The Emissary, continues.
But for Hyam . . . this time, it’s personal.
