Studious and introspective Galter would love nothing more than to spend his days reading in Fredrick's library, learning all there is to know about the continent of Soli Duna. But he wields dark powers that he can't easily ignore-a burden that soon sets him and his twin on a path of extraordinary design. Headstrong and fierce Joraine has but one goal in mind: to join the ranks of the Valerian army, the largest, most experienced fighting force in Soli Duna. But she is heir to a legacy of light, a calling that she can't easily ignore-a gift that soon sets her and her twin on a path of extraordinary design. After a traditional hunting trial in the mountains north of their village goes awry, Galter and Joraine realize that the world is much larger-and more dangerous-than even they could have imagined. Soon they find themselves joining with five other wayward souls-an assassin, a swordmaster, a lost prince, a mysterious child who can summon spirits, and a silent spearman-on a quest to thwart evil's ambition and destroy a mysterious vault of ancient artifacts shrouded in secrecy. Though their story has long since passed into legend, the deeds of these seven brave heroes are remembered for all time. This is The Legend of Soli Duna.
