Haunted by the choices he has made and surrounded by companions who have dangerous secrets of their own, he returns to the people and land he turned his back on. But soon the quest to save his wife becomes entangled with a larger quest. Gathering shadows threaten the land, whispering of the return of a dark lord, thought to be defeated.To fight this enemy, the world needs the Keeper Alaric used to be, not the broken man he has become. Can he regain what he's lost? Or do some choices change us too much for us to ever go back?Alaric must decide or, in the face of all the growing shadows, it may be the darkness he carries within himself that destroys everything.

I had to have teared up at least 3 times while reading this heart breaking book. But I loved every minute of it, and think you should read it! 

the characters or complex, full of emotions, and working through the past life choices, while battling future life choice. It gives one a lot to think about in their own life. I loved this world, and so excited to see where the story takes us. This book was a very complete story in itself, no cliff hanger ending, just a well packaged story.

I really enjoyed this read. The story follow Keeper Alaric. A very conflicted character who bears great burdens and even deeper sorrows. Following his journey, the tale depicts the journey of a group of unexpected heroes who will stop at nothing for treasure and the salvation of their world. While they face their challenges, they must also face themselves and in turn come to grips with who they really are and what their place is in their world. This story is gripping and weaves a beautiful tale of love, friendship, and adventure. I gave it 4 stars because it took me some time to truly get into the tale as it has a slow beginning for me. Nevertheless, it’s a great story that I would highly recommend to all epic fantasy lovers. If you love Tolkien, you’ll love Andrews.
