Kharn Dar Naleidn: (Passage of the Soul) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781456710125)

The Khraiiliyx has awakened. The One born in darkness must be found.

In a shrouded world where magic is condemned by many to be a supernatural conduit to evil, a youth on the brink of manhood struggles to survive an affliction he was born with. Ignorant of the inheritance flowing through his veins, Sheldyyn lives each day unaware of the terrible secrets that are kept hidden from him. His sister, Jaiid, has been likewise unsuccessful in her attempts at discovering their true lineage. All is well until ghosts from their lost past come back to haunt them on the eve of the new year. Vicious creatures devastate their farm as an exiled race crosses forbidden territory in search of an infamous weapon that once belonged to a legendary Wizard. If that wasn't enough, Sheldyyn's ability, which he knows only as a curse, is increasing drastically as he turns seventeen. His episodes begin to occur more frequently, leaving destruction and despair in their wake. So, as the nobles and officials of the Free-Lands bicker amongst themselves over matters of political rule, and as a risen army marches against Ridgetown in war, Sheldyyn strives to overcome the entity dwelling within that he can neither control nor accept.

The Balance has been swayed. Either it will be restored, or its protection will shatter, releasing the ancient evil that has been held at bay for untold millennia.
