Once a great evil, the Nethergrim, filled the land with creatures of darkness that served it and decimated the countryside of all it surveyed. A great knight and powerful wizard were able at last after great loss to defeat the evil and save their people. And so was laid to rest the legend of the Nethergrim. Until now. Edmund's brother has vanished into the night with no trace and he is not the only child missing. Creatures are said to have been seen lurking in the darkness closer and closer to the villages and animals are being found eaten. As fears start to escalate a secret is revealed and a man who has lived with it preying on his mind sets out on a journey to set to right wrongs and defeat the encroaching evil once and for all. While Edmund's fledgling powers in spell crafting may be the only advantage they have over an enemy that is cunning and has much to lose.
This is a well crafted story that is full of fantasy, adventure, betrayals, and decisions made that will reflect the courage and cowardice of each character. I would recommend this for any reader but this would be a good series to introduce to boys especially.
