The first herald of evil is silence.

Tam is at the bottom of a twenty-year skid. Once a renowned warrior, he now spends his days deep in his cups, trying to avoid sobriety and the memories it brings.

But fate has other plans for Tam than a slow, drunken death. He stumbles into a mission to escort the baron's dimwitted son, Gitt, to the academy in Thesslan. The journey offers an escape from the rut that is Tam's life -- and the failures that haunt him. But in his attempt to run away from his past, he winds up running headlong into it. And, in the process, stumbles upon an existential threat to the kingdom.
