About This Book
The Horizon’s an odd place. Once, two armies clashed upon its cliffs in desperate battle. There, the Ancient War was won and the Kingdom gained its foundation. But that was centuries ago. Since then, nothing’s happened on the Horizon worth talking about.Until now.After local Horizon hero, Strin Telnok, and his apprentice, Fred, rescue the Horizon’s Governor, they find themselves pawns of the reclusive Eomites and the as-yet-unmarried Empress of the Kingdom. But worse, Sertrims â€" foul monsters of rotting flesh â€" have appeared from the Horizon itself, the turbulent wall of Night that borders the Kingdom’s edge. Strin and Fred must protect their land from a threat they do not understand. The heroes and those they meet â€" absent-minded scholar, reluctant magician, golem, madman, would-be lover, and talking plant â€" may play a bigger role in history than they realize.
