This is the book that started the Saga of Recluce. It is about how one of the Recluse masters sends his son out to save the world, but doesn't tell that he's to do it or how. All Lerris knows is that nobody will tell him anything and he is bored. With help from his Uncle Justin, he just might succeed.
