Publisher's Synopsis
Set centuries before the events of Prince of Light and the King of Darkness, this prequel novel also serves as the origin story of one of the most enigmatic characters from the first book.
The age of heroes has ended.Men must now fend off the dark creatures themselves...not that the vain, greedy heroes were much help to begin with. With an army of creature hunters by his side, Lord Caspian Thorn will fight against the never-ending hoard of monsters that plague humanity.
As he searches for a way to end the creatures for good, he comes across signs that point to an ancient citadel as being the origin of his monstrous foes and vows to find it and finally put an end to the dark creatures once and for all.
Caspian will face insurmountable odds and have to team up with both friends and enemies to find the Barrow Citadel and save the kingdom of Luxumbra from the dark creatures before it's too late!
