A kingdom torn by war. A curse whispered by dying lips. A hero born against his will. Khirro never wanted to be anything more than the farmer he was born to be, but a Shaman's curse binds him to the fallen king and his life changes forever. Driven by the Shaman's dying words, Khirro's journey pits him against an army of the dead, sends him through haunted lands, and thrusts him into the jaws of beasts he wouldn't have believed existed. In one hand he carries the Shaman's enchanted sword, a weapon he can barely use; in the other he holds a vial of the king's blood, the hope of the kingdom. His destination: the Necromancer's keep in the cursed land of Lakesh. Only the mysterious outlaw magician can raise the king from the dead to save them all from the undead invasion, but can Khirro live long enough to deliver the vial? Can a coward save a kingdom? "Blake has a knack for bringing you into the story" "Mr. Blake's writing is masterful and clear, he draws you into his story and when its finished you feel like your leaving an old friend."… (mais)

Khirro, a farmer conscripted into the army, finds himself cursed to carry the blood of the fallen king to an ancient necromancer who can restore the king. On his journey, he is accompanied by the usual suspects: the warrior, the harlot, the dwarf, in this case, a midget, the mage, and an elf or rather a shape-shifting warrior. It is a long journey across dangerous country and they are hunted by others who want the blood either to destroy it or to use it for their own purposes.

It is impossible to read this book without making the inevitable comparisons to other fantasy books especially Lord of the Rings and that is unfortunate because, on its own merit, it's quite a good story with lots of twists and turns and even the occasional dragon and a talking tiger. ( )
