The Island is in peril. For years,bloodthirsty Marauder pirates have raided along the coast,carrying off goods and cattle. Now they're growing bolder,striking further inland,even taking slaves to man their black ships. An invasion is underway. As the son of a wealthy Law,young Aran should be safe. The underground farmstead of Hawk's Cross lies miles from the sea,and even the killing winds that sweep down from the moors can't penetrate those solid steel gates. But Aran doesn't want to be safe,he wants to be a warrior: to fight for his friends,his family and his home. Many tales have been told of the boy who became our greatest King. Very few have spoken of the future...
