Chronicles of Boone: The Cost of Restraint (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798241829832)

A boy survives the destruction of everything he has ever known.

Taken in by one of the royal families, Boone finds safety behind castle walls, but safety cannot replace the mother he lost, the father who would have taught him how to become a man, or the village he once called home.

Over the years, Boone learns to survive, to fight, and eventually to trust the people around him. For the first time since losing everything, he has something he never expected to have again.

A family.

Then war threatens to take it from him.

As Boone is pulled from the safety of the training yard into a conflict larger than he understands, he begins catching glimpses of something even more dangerous: a mysterious wizard marked by a red ruby earring. Magic follows in the wizard's wake, but Boone has no way of knowing what he wants, or how far his influence reaches.

The skills Boone learned as a boy will soon be tested against real enemies, real war, and eventually one of the most powerful beings in the world.

A Storm Dragon.

Boone has already learned what it costs to lose everything.

Now, with the people he loves and a kingdom threatened, he must learn that having the strength to fight is only part of becoming the man he wants to be.

Sometimes choosing the hard right over the easy wrong can feel next to impossible.
