Did his gods really have the cruel faces the sorcerer had shown him? This is one of many questions young Koren is asking as he journeys from the fishing village that was his home to the fortress of the dreaded warriors, the Lhas'kar. He bears the brand of the Lhas'kar on his cheek and only his passion to rescue his boyhood friend from them keeps him from succumbing to their dehumanizing influence.The innocence of Koren is illustrated by the delight he takes in the simple pleasures of life. Here is an example; "At last he pulled himself out of the water, along with his soaking breeches, which he spread on a flat stone to dry. Then he lay back on the gentle turf and closed his eyes against the bright sun that blazed above him. He could feel its fire sink into the marrow of his aching bones."The magic is back, as are the villains, and the story continues. This is a "must read" if you enjoyed "Rajan".
