Hungry and desperate, Kylen knows what it's like to be an outcast. Plucked from the streets by a tight-lipped stranger, he begins to dream of a better life.

But much more than his life might be at stake. Dark forces are stirring, and an ancient evil is poised, ready to be unleashed on an unsuspecting kingdom. Comfortable and arrogant, the kingdom's mages are bent on destroying the one person capable of saving them.
On the run with his mentor, Kylen tries to ignore the voices whispering about his destiny. Of what use is a fabled destiny when you're struggling to survive?

Person
Allan Packer writes epic fantasy. The six novels of The Stone Cycle series are his first published fiction. Allan grew up surrounded by books and became an avid reader during his childhood. In his university years fantasy displaced science fiction as his favorite genre, thanks primarily to J. R. R. Tolkien. He later shared this love with his four children by reading The Lord of the Rings to them aloud - a three-month marathon he completed twice during their formative years. Born in Australia, Allan has lived and worked on three continents, and spent one quarter of his working years abroad. Having worked as an IT professional throughout his career, he was first published as a technical author. Today he lives with his wife in Adelaide, South Australia, at the heart of a growing and geographically distributed extended family. Allan is currently working on the final installment in his series The Ruptured Kingdom.
