In the first book of the Farrunner Chronicle series we meet young Lucien Farrunner. He is the first of his kind, half-human and half-werewolf. The union of his werewolf father and human mother was a love story that saw them sent into exile. They created a village of their own, far from their homelands with friends who they considered family. Lucien, after returning from a coming-of-age hunting ritual, came home to find his family, and the entire village, massacred. Not a soul left alive. The only clue as to who was responsible for such carnage was a calling card left behind by the deadliest mercenary band in all of Arborreah, the 100 Blades. Why had the 100 Blades committed such a savage act, and better yet, who hired them to? Now Lucien must journey alone into a world he doesn't know on a quest to find answers ... and vengeance. For someone so young, and with no experience or training, he must first equip his body and mind in how to root out the evil that befell his family, friends, and all those he knew in this world. Join Lucien in the first step of his journey that has more twists and turns than can be imagined. His path takes him to lands far away, meeting people that for good, or for ill, will impact his life forever. Lucien quickly learns that the answers he sought will lead himself, and others, into danger that nightmares are made from.
