In the first book of this epic chosen-one fantasy series, Raul must claim his birthright as the last surviving heir of King Balbainus and lead his conquered people to freedom.

The signs are all therehis birthmark, in the shape of Balbainus halfmoon and dagger sigil, the gemstone-hilted sword he found in his parents inn, and the sudden influx of illegal books featuring the late kings lineage. Nevermind the fact that his sword doesnt seem very old at all, he feels much more comfortable reading than fighting, and his birthmark is looking more and more like a burn scar

As Raul leaves his simple village life to start a rebellion against the tyrannical Dunholmi government, he begins to wonder if his destiny is more someone elses plan for a future he doesnt want to be a part of. Hell go along with things, for now, if only to prove that change can come from kindness instead of outright destruction.

After all, destiny is what you make of it.
