Synopsis

Book 1 of 2

Revised edition: to improve continuity between books with some new content.


“Forbidden things.” Idrith pointed out grimly, “Things that could be your death warrant.”

“All beauty has a price, Castellan, and with all knowledge comes responsibility. The people who deal with my contact know this well, and they know the worse price of ignoring it.”

“What would that be?”

“Emptiness.”

Idrith dropped his gaze at last. That one word described his whole existence. “Tell me more, please.”

***********
On a world without hope, where nature is dying and colour is a crime; three people living different lives are about to have their perception of reality shattered.

Idrith, bitter and trapped in a life he never chose, is the first to discover his own fear-filled mystery. As deceptions are torn away, and ancient secrets brought to light, he must struggle to find the missing pieces of the puzzle.

Aztar's military promotion comes with an unexpected burden that threatens the entire Northerner regime. It seems that their only hope may lie in the hands of someone he was raised to think of as his inferior.

Daen’s father's health is failing and the running of their family estate lies in her hands. Knowing that desperate situations call for courageous action, she is about to take a step that will change her life forever.

What Readers are Saying

‘This book made me feel overwhelmed at times in a good way because of its complexity. Frost is a master in developing plotlines.’

‘A remarkable variety of issues and insight that is woven into an intricate tapestry of a story that has not one loose thread. Powerful, disturbing and yet beautifully inspiring.’

"First Light is a story and a myth, an allegory and a prophecy. It is a story of the heart, of hope and courage.'

‘the more I read, the more things were different than I had imagined they would be.’

‘a world about hope in dark places and how one person at a time can make a huge difference. This book kept me turning pages, eager for more.’

‘the story's metaphorical layers have great relevance for the times in which we live. A wonderful read--one that people from ages 10 to 100 can enjoy and benefit from.’

‘The characters being so utterly vivid and the very idea behind the story being woven into a pattern, where at times you know exactly where the story is headed for, only to realize on the next page that you haven't got a clue, make this book a true page turner.’

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

“Forbidden things.” Idrith pointed out grimly, “Things that could be your death warrant.”

“All beauty has a price, Castellan, and with all knowledge comes responsibility. The people who deal with my contact know this well and they know the worse price of ignoring it.”

“What would that be?”

“Emptiness.”

Idrith dropped his gaze at last. That one word described his whole existence. “Tell me more, please.”
On a world without hope, where life is fading and colour is a crime; three people living very different lives are about to have their perception of reality shattered. As deceptions are torn away, and ancient secrets brought to light, they each must struggle to find the missing pieces of the puzzle... pieces that will reveal their true destiny.

Idrith, bitter and trapped in a life he never chose, is the first to discover his own fear-filled mystery. Obsessed with finding the truth behind the lies, he turns to the one person he has always tried to avoid - the mysterious pilgrim, Harmion.

Aztar's military promotion comes with an unexpected burden that threatens the entire Northerner regime. It seems that their only hope may lie in the hands of someone he was raised to think of as his inferior. Each day they struggle together to find a solution, but at night Aztar struggles alone as the secret he's hidden since childhood returns to torment him.

Daen was allowed to grow up unrestricted and far better educated than normal for a Northerner woman. Now her father's health is failing and the running of their family estate lies in her hands. Knowing that desperate situations call for courageous action, she is about to take a step that will change her life forever.
