Publisher's summary

Experience New York Times best-selling author Richard Baker’s classic novel set in the high-fantasy world of the Forgotten Realms. Accosted by bullies on a forest trail, Aeron had no way of knowing that the confrontation would change his life forever. Accused of a crime for which he bears no blame, he is pursued deep into the forests of the Maerchwood. First rescued, and then tutored, by the mysterious Storm Walker, he discovers a previously undreamed-of talent for magic, and his life is swept up in the study of the arcane arts, until the very principles of magic, and indeed the future of Faern, come under attack from the unspeakably evil influences of the Shadow Stone.

So nice to read a stand-alone story!

Finally, a story that is not a trilogy! Great story, real and memorable charecters, and a great reader make this a fantastic listen.

A decent Forgotten Realms story

I am a big fan of Richard Baker. The Last Mythal Trilogy is one of my favorite trilogies period (not just Forgotten Realms) and I like his Sword Mage series as well. I think this is his first book and it shows a bit. The main villain was not that interesting to me and the I never felt invested in any of the protagonists.

If you want some FR, this will do. But if you haven’t read Last Mythal go with that instead.
