    Abandoned by the Avatars during the Fall, the world was thrown into chaos. For the survivors, order was needed, and when the Obsidians appeared, they brought that structure through dark magic, monstrous creatures, and military conquest. Capt. Aren Bennis of the Obsidian Army knows that this war will bring the peace that his people proclaim. Falling into a crypt during battle, Aren finds a sword that his trusted scout claims was used by these legendary Avatars. When the blade is proven to be magical and can only be wielded by him, Aren embarks on a quest to uncover the truth about his path as an Obsidian Guard. VERDICT Written by the author of the "Dragonlance Chronicles" and an award-winning game designer, this prequel to the not-yet-released Shroud of the Avatar online role-playing game (RPG) features Hickman's classic epic fantasy style and opens the pages of this world's history to RPG and fantasy enthusiasts alike.—KC
