He was born to save his world; but first he must save himself. Raised in the sanctuary of Torbhale, safe from the necromancers. Tauren is the last of his kind, the fulfilment of a ten thousand year old prophecy, born to a woman who was not with child; a secret his parents and the townsfolk have kept from him. But now a wizard, Mardrath the Black, a ninth level mage has learned how to breach the barrier that separates his sanctuary from the Seven Kingdoms, and consumed with his desire for power, will stop at nothing to possess the last Foundling, even if it puts the whole world in jeopardy. As his thirteenth birthday approaches, Tauren must, with the help of his friends and a blind stranger known only as the Sayer, come to terms with the truth about himself and the new powers hès developing. But can he learn quickly enough to save them all?
