When Roan’s parents and the people of Longlight perish in a raid, Roan is filled with rage. Torn between his desire for revenge and the legacy of peace he has inherited, he is taken in by a sect of warriors. Here he learns he has exceptional talent as a fighter.

Eh, not sure if I care enuf to see where this goesAlmost parable like, weighty, with a narrative voice that is evoked in the Forgotten's Storytellers -- a far different book than I expected. Some weaknesses with dialogue, but it takes the YA post apocalyptic genre in a refreshing direction.
Set in a post-apocolyptic world, the main character is thrown out into a harsh world when he and his kidnapped sister are the only survivors from their massacred village. His knowledge of history and philosophy, and his ability to read are his strengths as he sets off on a journey to save his sister, and understand the world he lives in. Thoroughly enjoyable read. I'm going to look for the next in the series at the library, and if it continues on the way this book started, I'll add them to my
Roan and his sister are the last survivors of the slaughter of Longlight, a utopian community devoted to nonviolence after the Devastation. When they are separated Roan begins an apprenticeship to discover his legacy and to learn all about his powers and his responsibilities and his place in the disputes of his world.
It is going very awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very interesting plot. It could be confusing, but in a way that what purposeful. Things became clear as the main character figured things out. I can't wait to pick up the next two book.
