<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Armies will clash, and even gods will die... For thousands of years, the Breaker of the Dawn has been locked away in the ethereal plane of the Otherworld. Now, a young blacksmith's apprentice finds himself trapped in a war between the noble Athrani, a subset of humanity gifted with the ability to transmute matter, and the malevolent and powerful Khyth, who seek to free the ancient god from his prison. When his father, Olson, is kidnapped, Thornton Woods and his childhood friend, Miera, must leave their small village of Highglade to find him. On their way, they are joined by Ynara and Kethras, cat-like humanoids called Kienari, who use their skills as hunter/trackers to follow Olson's trail. When it comes to light that one among them possesses the key to the Breaker's release, Thornton and his friends must defy the might of the Khyth as armies on both sides collide in pursuit of the ultimate prize. Gift of the Shaper chronicles the epic struggle between the existing forces of good and evil, with both sides vying for control of the key that unlocks the Otherworld. The very powers of creation and destruction hang in the balance, and only a heroic effort by Thornton and Miera, backed by the power of the Athrani, can possibly stop the Khyth from unleashing ruin -- and the Breaker -- upon their world."Back cover.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An exceptional series opener ...</b> - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i> <p/><b>Armies will clash and gods will die...</b> <p/>For thousands of years, the Breaker of the Dawn has been locked away in the ethereal plane of the Otherworld.
