Nameless: The Four Trilogy: Book One

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. Orphaned and alone, Aeron has no choice but to accept. During the chase, Aeron discovers that he is the focus of an ancient prophecy and alone has the ability to decide the balance of power in a thousand-year-old war. 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.
