About this audiobook
A warning from Larkspur: librarian, historian, pacifist, and reluctant witness to the ensuing chaos—Scribbler to the King.
For the record, I despise violence. I would much rather be sitting in a library, accounting for the history of the world, than describing war. But when the darkness in the world gets so thick you can feel its icy fingers freezing your spine, one has to make exceptions.
I was there when the King reached into your world and pulled out a broken teenager named Liam to save ours. Liam wasn't a soldier. At least, he wasn't supposed to be. But the evil doesn't care about our preferences, and it was spreading faster than we could handle in Laknohl, a land of peace. We needed someone familiar with evil, capable of good. Liam fit the bill.
This book is my account of what really happened. It's the story of a troubled boy in way over his head, a spine-tingling darkness, and the sheer, unfortunate necessity of fighting back. Read it. Preferably somewhere safe.
