Publisher's Synopsis
PALANSHIA - BOOK ONE - THE GIFT
The iridescence of Eth flickers for a second time since creation as power surges out from the core of the world. The unstoppable Beckoning has begun.
The pull on Toman's mind, the strange dreams of different worlds.... fleets of ships made of clear glass... inky black figures brandishing spears, leaping from the shadows of his bedroom. Something was amiss. And now a light that appears in the bones of his fingers!
Compelled by a deep need to leave Fahtu-Shan, his island home, he finds work on the docks of Turicum. But he desperately tries to keep his Eth power a secret.
Discovered one evening wielding his power by the Lord Protector of the noble House of Méndrensynn, Toman is taken on as his personal apprentice.
His training is cut short as the Méndrensynn Highborns embark downriver for international Summit on Trade in Barrost. The journey becomes perilous as forces of both good and evil inundate the entourage and focus on the young herdsman from Fahtu-Shan.
