Description

When legends come to life the world trembles from a single name. Ronin. Once-heroes from a different age, they wield elemental powers… wind, water, fire, stone, forest, sun, moon, flesh, and metal.

At the same time, a young man discovers his best friend with a sword in her stomach, and dark wings sprouting from her back. Guards rush onto the scene, accuse him of the act, and he is forced to flee. In a new world without his memories, Gray must find his way amid legends and darkness, as he wrestles with an elemental power inside himself.

A power all too similar to the infamous Ronin…

When legends come to life the world trembles from a single name. Ronin. Once-heroes from a different age, they wield elemental powers… wind, water, fire, stone, forest, sun, moon, flesh, and metal.

Advance Praise

"Wolf has created a richly detailed, complex fantasy universe populated by intriguing characters who will continually surprise readers throughout the briskly paced tale... This is a strong, confident fantasy novel, [and] an impressive, page-turning adventure for fans of the series." - KIRKUS

"A truly engaging story!" - Tracy Hickman, NY Times Bestselling Author and Creator of the Dragonlance Series

"Wolf has done a good job of bringing his world into its own..." Cat Fitzpatrick, FANTASY BOOK REVIEW (Book one, THE KNIFE'S EDGE)

"The author has created a convincing world full of legends, history, and magic, but those elements are woven in as needed and propel the plot forward rather than distract from it... There is also plenty of action and suspense, from battle scenes to the chilling vergs and Kage...

...For those who enjoy epic fantasy and quest novels but are a little tired of the same old elves/dwarves/humans band together storyline--this is a nice change in the fantasy genre in that it brings something new and interesting." - E. Lucas, Top 1000 Reviewer

"This is one of those books where you pick it up and you get sucked into that ultimate time wrap... and suddenly you realize you've not done anything in the last hours and hours and the book is ending and you really don't want it to, but you CAN'T stop reading it!" - Blogger Jesse Kimmel-Freeman
