One fateful mistake changed the course of Talar’s life. It cost him his mother, his sight, and his freedom. He swore never to return to Loden, but Shara changed that. Now he finds himself entangled in the very existence he fled from, hounded by the Nazarien, stalked by Erram, and trapped by the Lord of Loden. More pressing is his struggle with his own demons. He can no longer control his power and no one seems able to help him…except perhaps the Stravad... moreOne fateful mistake changed the course of Talar’s life.
