This book and the 2nd & 3rd in the series was apparently marketed as a trilogy. There is a prequel, "The Dark Glory War", which I had tried to read, but found it ponderous and slow. I'm going to have to give it another try, now that I've read this book and enjoyed it so much. It's kind of a military/political fantasy, with magic, of course. The plot is fairly standard - young boy, unaware of his destiny, is sought by others who know that the boy is the key to saving the world. That doesn't matter, because the rest of the book is so good. There's lots of action, fighting, plotting and good characters. I particularly enjoyed the character of Kerrigan the mage.
