"Tyrion, unparalleled swordsman and tactician. Teclis, greatest natural sorcerer of the age, his power rivalling that of fabled Caledor. Together these twins are the greatest high elf heroes to walk the Earth. A powerful daemon, banished millennia ago by the twins' ancestor, Aenarion the Defender, has returned to wreak bloody revenge. Plucked from their home in the wilds of Chrace, Tyrion and Teclis must learn the arts of war and the mysteries of magic, as well as the secrets of survival in the Phoenix King's court. Hunted by daemonic assassins and beset by treachery, they must fight to survive and claim their destiny as the greatest heroes of the age."--Front jacket flap.
