The first volume in legendary master and New York Times
bestselling author Raymond E. Feist’s epic heroic fantasy
series, The Firemane Saga—an electrifying tale of two
young men whose choices will determine a world’s destiny.
For centuries, the five greatest kingdoms of North and
South Tembria, twin continents on the world of Garn, have
coexisted in peace. But the balance of power is destroyed
when four of the kingdoms violate an ancient covenant and
betray the fifth: Ithrace, the Kingdom of Flames, ruled
by Steveren Langene, known as "the Firemane" for his
brilliant red hair. As war engulfs the world, Ithrace is
destroyed and the Greater Realms of Tembria are thrust
into a dangerous struggle for supremacy.
As a Free Lord, Baron Daylon Dumarch owes allegiance to
no king. When an abandoned infant is found hidden in
Daylon’s pavilion, he realizes that the child must be the
missing heir of the slain Steveren. The boy is valuable—
and vulnerable. A cunning and patient man, Daylon decides
to keep the baby’s existence secret, and sends him to be
raised on the Island of Coaltachin, home of the so-called
Kingdom of Night, where the powerful and lethal Nocusara,
the "Hidden Warriors," legendary assassins and spies, are
trained.
Years later, another orphan of mysterious provenance, a
young man named Declan, earns his Masters rank as a
weapons smith. Blessed with intelligence and skill, he
unlocks the secret to forging King’s Steel, the apex of a
weapon maker’s trade known by very few. Yet this precious
knowledge is also deadly, and Declan is forced to leave
his home to safeguard his life. Landing in Lord Daylon’s
provinces, he hopes to start anew.
Soon, the two young men—an unknowing rightful heir to a
throne and a brilliantly talented young swordsmith—will
discover that their fates, and that of Garn, are
entwined. The legendary, long-ago War of Betrayal has
never truly ended . . . and they must discover the secret
of who truly threatens their world.
