The Iron Order

The land of Telion's history is filled with magical wonder and ancient evil...glorious heroes and brutal conquerors. One of those conquerors has just dredged himself up out of the nightmares of the past to lay waste to the realm once more. But where are the heroes?<br><br> In a small and nameless village on the edge of the Witchwood, the young boy Brannoch has grown up enthralled by tales of the wars of old. Now he suddenly finds himself on the run from his home in fear for his life. Guided and protected by strangers, he is armed only with his stories. Why is he a target and what role does he have to play in the coming battle?<br><br> Here begin The Blackthorn Tales...<br><br> &quot;...reminiscent of David Eddings' early works, but its focus on individual choice makes it unlike many other fantasy tales...A strong opening to a children's fantasy series.&quot; - Kirkus Reviews
