At fifteen, Aeron is sentenced to die because he has not yet Taken a Name. When his mother sacrifices herself to save his life, Aeron is thrust into a journey with Kyle, a powerful, secretive mage-not much older than Aeron himself-whom he must learn to trust. Still not out of danger, Aeron and Kyle are forced to flee. In the midst of everything, Kyle offers Aeron an apprenticeship-something Aeron's culture did not allow a Nameless one.

Forces desperate to ensure that Aeron decides in their favor, stalk him relentlessly. With innocence no longer a shield, Aeron finds himself in the middle of an ancient war. Danger, treachery, and tragedy lurk at every crossroad, as opposing forces try to persuade Aeron to their own ends. But "when good is betrayal and evil is kind ." what does one choose? You'll be drawn immediately into the compelling settings peopled with fascinating characters and the complex depths of the human mind in "Nameless."

About the Book: In an age long since lost to myth and memory, a race of supreme giants known as titans ruled over all the lands of Ruin Mist from their homes on Over-Earth. Without question, titans were the masters of the gates. They moved freely between realms and across lands. Darkness came to mark the end of the age of the titans as surely as there was ever light at the beginning. During this time of darkness, known as the Great Purge, it was the greatest of all titans, Ky'el, who gave men, elves, and dwarves their freedom. By the end of the purge, the only known gate to Over-Earth was sealed for all time, ushering in a new beginning. A new age. An age of men, elves, and dwarves. After countless wars waged against themselves, each other, and the other races, men, elves, and dwarves settled in to an uneasy peace within their divided lands. In time, like the titans before them, dwarves became folk of myth and legend, leaving only absence like a darkness where once there had been a great presence and a light. The age of men and elves had arrived, its arrival marked by the coming of the Great War. Some would call this war Dnyarr's war after the elven king who started it. Others would call it the War of the Thousand Year Siege. Those who fought and died would call it the War of Ten Million Tears. Victory for men above all others brought little joy even though it ushered in a new age. The age of men. There are some who fear this age to be Ruin Mist's last. For if men succumb to darkness, there will be no beginning, and darkness will surely rule forever. It is in this time at the twilight of the age of men that those long lost have returned to thwart the darkness. They are the fallen sons of ages past and present. They are the keepers, the watchers, and the guardians. They are those who hold the key to Ruin Mist's future. Get ready to enter In the Service of Dragons Book 3.
