The Dark One's Hand

By AJ Cooper

A summons from a long-lost mentor thrusts Reev Nax, a boy of uncertain parentage, into a fateful journey of discovery. Reev learns that an ancient evil has reawakened in the world of Varda, and that two prophetic figures, one the Hand of Light and the other, a man declared the Dark One's Hand, are predicted to appear. Along the way, he will meet many friends-Fortunato, a warrior and tracker; Wrinn, a former pit fighter; Ambrass, a serving girl whose fate may be written in the stars; and more. But as the world spirals into chaos, a question arises: who is the long-awaited hero, and who is the Dark One's Hand?

The first book of the Last Shadow Epic.
