In a future world healed from the ruin of Man and Technology, Jessar escapes slavery only to be drawn into prophecy, politics, and ancient war. Hunted by enemies who know his past, he gathers an unlikely brotherhood: a wizard, a warrior prince, a Valkara swordswoman, a gypsy witch, and others bound by loyalty more than fate. As Undying Evil rises and kingdoms fracture, Jessar must become the Journeyman before Talan’s last free peoples fall.
