An orphaned boy approaching manhood, Arvan has grown
tired of his uneventful life in the small town of Farras. He here was raised,
with best friend Darkla, by surrogate mother Mirr, his time enlivened by the
frequent appearances of his teacher Lawliet Snow, the greatest swordsman in the
world. But, when Master Snow goes missing, the boy who has craved adventures of
his own for so long takes it upon himself to find him, plunging himself into a
world of danger; of warlords, warriors, tyrannical kings and, most perilous of
all, the Behemoth.
Through
these obstacles we are witness to Arvan’s staggering courage, but also the
fragile confidence of youth. We see Arvan’s need for a teacher as his quest to
find Master Snow leads him from mentor to mentor, each shaping his burgeoning
adult personality and not all for the better.
Arvan
is compassionate and caring in a world that proves to increasingly cruel. As
his adventure leads to ever darker paths, are these qualities he can hold on
to?
