With his sister Taelarae, he makes the long journey to Darvenlure. That is where they meet Iniquitous, a charming sorcerer with the power of black magic and the disposition of pure evil. When Taelarae goes missing, Chael soon realizes that it is the work of this malevolent sorcerer. Frantically he begins his long quest for the one person he vowed to his father he would keep safe.Along the way, he comes to realize that he is indeed more than just a farmer's son.
