Synopsis

Synopsis -The Icefalcon's first mistake was to rescue the old man named Linok. His second mistake was to leave Tir, his young charge in the old man's care. Linok was not as he seemed, and when he disappeared, snatching Tir away with him, the Icefalcon begins a desperate quest to rescue his charge. But this will be no ordinary struggle, for against the Icefalcon comes the hellish furies – an army of General Vair’s horrifically constructed inhuman soldiers, demons of the air and magic so dark it terrifies him. Banished by his own people and scorned as a barbarian, the Icefalcon must ready himself for his greatest battle...for his prince, for his honour and for all eternity.
