Time Will Tell: Pt. 1: The Chronicles of the Sight from the Golden Tome (Golden Tome 1)

Jon is a young man who lives a quiet life. Into this sleepy existence steps a mysterious stranger, a lone, hooded figure claiming to be Jon's long lost uncle. This apparently chance encounter has unforeseen consequences, for the hooded figure is a seer - one of eight guardians of the enigmatic Council of the Sight, bestowed with magical, earth bourn powers. yet the seers' abilities are dimmed, one of the seers -Ebon Lodestone - has entrapped his fellow rulers in Seers' Tower, rendering all powerless to prevent Ebon's malevolent desire for absolute power.
Urim, Jon's shadowy new companion, has evaded Ebon's clutches and is hot on his trail. Together Jon, Urim and an unlikely company of dwarves, elves, men - and the redoubtable Anna - embark on a remarkable journey across strange lands in even stranger times.
Fierce clashes with embittered enemies lie ahead, for a heavy darkness has spread across the land. Will this ragtag band of brothers prevail in their endeavour to defeat the rogue seer? Or will the dark forces converging in Ebon's wake prove too strong for their brave union.
'With all the epic scope and imaginative breadth of Tolkien, this trailblazing fantasy is a classic of the oldest battle of all; that between good and evil and will have you gripped right from the start.' Book Guild.*****
