Tagori lives his life like any normal boy his age--that is, until circumstances force him to join the fight against the empire. He becomes attached to the people who drag him to the hidden rebel base, and he takes risks that he is urged to avoid. His recklessness gets him into real trouble as he gets closer to the king that he hopes to kill. Is there more to Tagori than meets the eye? Strange occurrences continue to follow him, with spells changing and a normal-looking sword becoming increasingly mysterious. However, are those things enough to stand against the king's might?
