In the peaceful valley of Anderras Darion, Hawklan has lived contentedly as a healer for many years, his past a mystery even to himself. But when a dying stranger brings disturbing news from the outside world, Hawklan's quiet life is forever changed.
Ancient powers long dormant are beginning to stir, and dark forces move once again across the lands. Guided by Gavor, a raven of remarkable wisdom, and accompanied by his loyal friend Isloman, Hawklan must venture beyond his sheltered valley to discover the truth about the growing threat—and about himself.
As his journey unfolds, Hawklan begins to uncover abilities he never knew he possessed and memories that hint at a destiny far greater than he ever imagined. In a world where the balance between light and shadow hangs by a thread, one man's awakening may hold the key to hope itself.
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
