An expert archer, Rhinan is often haunted by ghosts. Thinking himself mad, he leads a solitary life – but gets into a lot of trouble. When he goes too far, he draws the attention of the oppressive king of Lydania, who has banned magic and weapons. Worse, he finds himself on the run from the ruthless general, Gethor Dran. Left only a magic gem and an unusual sword by his parents, he must learn of his mysterious heritage if he hopes to survive.
Captured and questioned about Rhinan by the king, his friend Silarrah is rescued by a cabal at the Lore College, where the knowledge of the divine Lore Givers is shared. Their interest in Rhinan leads her to revelations about him, and about herself.
As he flees toward the dead and distant lands where the lost Ylvan Clans once dwelled, Rhinan is aided by a loyal beardog, a disapproving village guard, a Hegana warrior (the secret sect dedicated to restoring magic to Lydania), his troubadour friend, a rock gnome, and others. Facing dangers both from General Dran and in the wild, some will pay the ultimate price on his behalf. But the secret of the gem, its connection to the lost clans, and Rhinan’s own fate may prove to be the most dangerous of all.
