So Lorn is forced to become a lancer officer, and he's sent to the frontier to fight off the all-too-frequent barbarian raids--a career that comes with a 50% mortality rate. His enemies don't expect him to survive . . . Lorn is a fresh, new character who will enrich one of today's most important fantasy series: the saga of Recluce.
