For generations, the valley has known only peace. No one leaves. No one enters. Life is perfect—until haunted men flee from the south, and something unspeakable stalks from the north.
When ancient corruption blooms into deadly menace, young Farnor Yarrance faces tragedy that shatters his world. Pursued into the Great Forest, bitter and grieving, he must discover powers he never knew he possessed.
Because the darkness threatening his valley is only the beginning. And Farnor alone stands between his people and an evil that would consume everything. The first gripping tale in the Nightfall duology, set in the acclaimed world of Hawklan.
Roger Taylor (1938-2023) was the acclaimed author of the epic five-book fantasy series, the Chronicles of Hawklan and the Word of Hawklan novels. Praised by readers as "subtly subversive," his work delved deep into the complexities of good and evil, often exploring the challenging idea that one must embrace their own darkness to protect the vulnerable.
His worlds, and the profound questions they pose, continue to captivate and resonate with readers around the globe.View all by Roger Taylor
