It's always good to know who you are, but sometimes that's alittle difficult. Kenhodan has no last name, because he has no past -- ornot one he remembers, anyway. What he does have are a lot of scars and a lot ofskills -- some exhilarating and some terrifying -- and a purpose. Now,if he only knew where he'd gotten them and what that purpose was? Wencit of Rm,the most powerful wizard in the world, knows the answers to Kenhodan'squestions, but he can't -- or won't -- share them with him. Except toinform him that he's a critical part of Wencit's millennium-long battle toprotect Norfressa from conquest by dark sorcery. But in the far northern portcity of Belhadan, an eleven-year-old girl with a heart of harp music knows theanswers to all of Kenhodan's questions...and dares not share them with anyone,even the ancient wild wizard who loves her more dearly than life itself! It'snot easy to face the future when you can't even remember your own past, but ifsaving an entire world from evil sorcerers, demons, devils, and dark gods waseasy, anyone could do it., #1 in a NEW EPIC FANTASY SERIES by 28-times New York Times and international best seller David Weber, set within his Bahzell Bahnakson/War God universe. A swordsman who has been robbed of his past must confront an evil wizard with a world at stake. Know thyself. Its always good to know who you are, but sometimes thats a little difficult. Kenhodan has no last name, because he has no past . . . or not one he remembers, anyway. What he does have are a lot of scars and a lot of skills some exhilarating and some terrifying and a purpose. Now if he only knew where he'd gotten them and what that purpose was . . . . Wencit of Rm, the most powerful wizard in the world, knows the answers to Kenhodan's questions, but he can't or won't share them with him. Except to inform him that he's a critical part of Wencit's millennium-long battle to protect Norfressa from conquest by dark sorcery. Bahzell Bahnakson, champion of Tomank, doesnt know those answers and the War God isn't sharing them with him. Except to inform Bahzell that the final confrontation with the Dark Lords of fallen Kontovar is about to begin, and that somehow Kenhodan is one of the keys to its final outcome. Wulfra of Torfo doesn't know those answers, either, but she does know Wencit of Rm is her implacable foe and that somehow Kenhodan is one of the weapons he intends to use against her . . . assuming she can't kill both of them first. But in the far northern port city of Belhadan, an eleven-year-old girl with a heart of harp music knows the answers to all of Kenhodan's questions. . . and dares not share them with anyone, even the ancient wild wizard who loves her more dearly than life itself. It's not easy to face the future when you can't even remember your own past, but if saving an entire world from evil sorcerers, demons, devils, and dark gods was easy, anyone could do it.
