Publisher Description

From the bestselling authors of The Rose of the Prophet and The Death Gate Cycle, the first in a majestic saga of magic, fantasy, and adventure
 
In the enchanted realm of Merilon, magic is life.
 
Born without magical abilities and denied his birthright, Joram is left for dead. Yet he grows to manhood in a remote country village, hiding his lack of powers only through constant vigilance and ever more skillful sleight-of-hand.
 
Forced to kill a man in self-defense, Joram can keep his secret from the townspeople no longer: he has no magic, no life. Fleeing to the Outlands, Joram joins the outlawed Technologists, who practice the long forbidden arts of science. Here he meets the scholarly catalyst Saryon, who has been sent on a special mission to hunt down a mysterious “dead man” and instead finds himself in a battle of wits and power with a renegade warlock of the dark Duuk-tsarith caste.
 
Together, Joram and Saryon begin their quest toward a greater destiny—a destiny that begins with the discovery of the secret books that will enable them to overthrow the evil usurper Blachloch . . . and forge the powerful magic-absorbing Darksword.

Good but takes a long time to get going

Very long beginning, not till the middle of the first book when things start getting good. I’m a huge Dragonlance fan since reading the books in high school 30 years ago. I have this first book since then but couldn’t get into it because of the long drawn out beginning. Finally now getting to read it again and it’s pretty good. Just takes some time to get going.

A Wonderful read for any fantasy lover!

The story is in my opinion extremely well written. It starts of a little slow and was tough for me to get into but as I did I realized how much information they were feeding me, i quickly began to feel like I was a part of this story, standing alongside our macabre hero and his merry if somewhat gloomy band of followers. As the book ended I had a firm grasp on there world and was all to eager to pick up the second book. I hope if anyone is even considering this book that you give it a chance because it is truly captivating
