The night to come would be one for the ages. And these were the people who would play a magical and glorious role in the turning of events. For the thirteenth generation would take a step in history that night, down that path that makes men wizards and kings. Thus begins a tale of three young humble shepherds whose destiny takes them far beyond their flock and acknowledges their noble and forgotten ancestry. Chosen by elves, Byron, Corwin, and Cherish embark on a journey that takes them through perilous woods, hidden fortresses, and unlikely allies. Their adventures incorporate magic, awakened talents, and their undying commitment toward the better good for all. In this classic tale of good versus evil, magic does not seem so impossible when coupled with simple goodness, spirit, and unrivaled courage as three unlikely heroes come of age in turbulent times.
