The story commences with Arlen as a 12 year old child. His father is weak and frightened by daemons. He's left with a choice of either saving his wife or seeking refuge back at a farm and he chose to seek refuge and that resulted in Arlen's mum dieing. Arlen is angry with his Dad and runs off into forest.
Leisha is a 13 year old at the start of the book and has inherited her mothers good looks. Her mother is a pretty lady but she is also rather mean horrible especially to her husband because she sleeps with other men. She does not deserve the kind and loving husband, a man called Arney. The daemaons attach the village where Leisha lives and many die. An old herb gatherer in the village needs help healing the wounderd and Leisha accidently volunteers.
Rojer, at the start he is a small boy of 3 who has bright red hair. His parents die and a jongler who is also a Coward, is with them when daemons attach. The Jongler runs away when the daemons brake in and kill his parents, just before his Mother dies, she hand Rojer over to the Jongler who is hiding in a cellar.Some of Rojers fingers are severed at that time.
They all set off on adventures of their own, but I'm not going to read it to you so read it yourself!!!
My thoughts
This is one of my favorite books, it is a must read. This book is quite long and is quite advanced. I love this book but if there was something I could change it would be...
To spend more time on Rojer.
To make the characters not grow up so fast.
And to make a movie of it!!!
If you get into this book there is a sequal called The Dessert Spear
I would rate this book 100%
