Aeon the Leaf, a tender soul descended from a much-feared war chief, is plucked from the prison island where his Tor’oc people have lived for a thousand years and lured back into the land of Aemira as it finds itself in peril—The blood of the legendary and brutal chief may be their savior, he may be their worst enemy. The debut high fantasy novel from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Barry Alexander Brown blends lyrical storytelling with intricate world-building, launching an epic trilogy of myth, magic, politics and the sacred bond between people and nature.
