The first in a trilogy set in the prehistory era of Valdemar. This is a tale of the adventure and magical forces; wizards, empaths, telepaths and healers fighting what will be an epic war. Chief amongst them is the magnificent Black Gryphon Skandranon. He is perhaps the finest specimen of the gryphon race, with gleaming ebony feathers, majestic wingspan, keen magesight, and sharp intelligence. When an invading force threatens his realm, he is sent to spy across enemy lines.
