Publisher's blurb:
There are many prophecies which inspire devotion throughout the Known World. For the disenfranchised Formar of the lower territories, the legend of the Avalyn Rangers is a source of hope and inspiration. It is said that many years ago a legion of Tithesworn warriors threw off the yoke of their Diar leaders, massacring them all and using their former masters’ bodies for experiments in necromancy. Some perished, some were lost to the Spirit Realm, but a chosen few were rewarded by the Universe. These few found that they gained heightened senses and reflexes, the ability to adapt to their surroundings, and grew to possess a keen understanding of time and space. With these abilities they went on to overcome seemingly insurmountable numbers and came closer than anyone else to establishing a truly independent Formar country. No one is sure why the Avalyn Rangers went away but many pray for their return, or at least their guidance.
