Finally have time to blog about this book that I finished almost a month ago! This is the first book in a series of three I believe.The story follows Valashu Elahad of Mesh (Val for short) on a journey to find the sacred Lightstone, a golden cup with magical properties. The journey starts out with an assassination attempt on Val but it is not the last.
Val is accompanied by two close friends, Prince Maram Marshayk of Delu and Master Juwain Zadoran of the Brotherhood. They begin their journey to a far kingdom where a king has asked those who wish to search for the Lightstone to make an official commitment to it.
On the journey to get there they meet up with Kane. He is very mysterious about everything, so they are hesitant to trust him, but allow him to join their group. On the outskirts of the kingdom they meet up with Atara Ars Narmada of Alonia and the Wendrush, also known as Atara Manslayer of the Kurmak. She is so named because she took a vow to kill 100 men, and she can not be wed until this vow has been completed.
Finally at the kingdom, they receive the blessing of the king and are joined by two additional adventurers, making their group a total of 7 people.
There is a prophecy; "The seven brothers and sisters of the earth with the seven stones will set forth into the darkness. The Lightstone will be found, the Maitreya will com forth and a new age will begin. A seventh son with the mark of Valoreth will slay the dragon. The old world will be destroyed and a new world created."
The seven brothers and sisters have joined, and they are gradually getting the seven stones through the journey.
It took me a while to get into this book, but once I got a into the story I couldn't stop, and I plan to finish the rest of the series as well! If alot of details and strange names scare you away from reading a book this is not the series for you, but if you like something that's a bit different but still "on earth" this is a great story!
