Summary
#1 in a new, epic fantasy series by New York Times and internationalbest seller David Weber set within his Bahzell Bahnakson/War God universe! Know thyself. 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.

Library Journal Review
Weber returns to his epic fantasy world last depicted in War Maid's Choice with a fresh subseries featuring Kenhodan, a man with lots of violent skills and no memory of his past. Bahzell Bahnakson is still around and getting cryptic messages from the War God that Kenhodan is critical to the upcoming final confrontation. With the full pantheon of gods, wizards, elves, dwarves, and dark sorcery, this title is guaranteed to win the favor of Robert Jordan and Michael Sullivan enthusiasts. Designed as an entry point for first-time readers, it also is a great option for teens and adults.-JM © Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
