Product Description

“Have you found a dragon?” Rafen’s voice barely repressed his excitement. An egg Sherwin has discovered in the Cursed Woods unexpectedly gives Rafen hope. In the meantime, Prince Richard Patrick is planning his execution, and a Zaldian dragon fighting champion is preparing to murder Rafen in a public challenge before his people. Rafen must defeat the dragon rider Tirok so that he can win the right to lead a Zaldian army back to Siana, where he will overcome Richard and secure the throne. The Lashki Mirah has been strangely inactive lately. Is it because of the black wound Rafen bears on his left hand? And will Rafen’s worsening injury get the better of him before he can win his army?

    The Fourth Runi—the prophesied saviour of the world—has come. He is incarnate. He has stepped forward. The Lashki Mirah, wielder of the copper rod, will destroy him by slow and steady degrees. Thankfully, Rafen has a spirit of flame... and a will that burns like molten metal. Time alone will tell the fate of the world of the Mio Pilamùr and the consummation of its vast ages. After discovering his true identity, seventeen-year-old Rafen seeks to prove to the people of Siana that he is the Fourth Runi, a legendary figure destined to lead the world in the final battle against the demonic force of Nazt. When the fraud Runi, Richard Patrick, forces him to undergo a trial, Rafen is determined to prove his innocence. However, he fails and is banished from Siana. Richard attempts to have him killed on his way out, but Rafen has a secret weapon—his new dragon, Eil. Eil carries Rafen, his baby daughter, Amari, and his friend, Sherwin, out of Siana to Zal Ricio 'el Nria, where they will be safe. In Zal Ricio 'el Nria, Rafen starts gathering an army to take to Siana. As Fourth Runi, he has a right to the Sianian throne, which Richard is determined to keep from him.
