The Highwayman - A Novel of Corona

R.A Salvatore takes his readers back to his signature world of Corona, where he introduces a fascinating new hero, destined to become a fantasy legend. Long ago, in a distant land, a lonely young man struggles to discover who he is and where he belongs. He carries the blood and magic of two peoples, a sword of unimaginable power, and the staggering potential for great good...or greater evil.

But the world he left behind has changed, and his dream of spreading the powerful wisdom he has learned to his fellow monks is soon crushed. Forced to hide Sen Wi and his precious book, Bran must decide whom he can trust and where he should place his faith....
