A young man without a past turns into a warrior from a legend. Cinder Shade's life begins on that fateful day, when he comes to his senses at the bottom of a well, beaten and devoid of memory. Cinder longs to protect all who need it and become a magnificent warrior. He discovers a special gift in himself: the ability to foresee the actions of the enemy, when the picture of the battle becomes obvious, and the language of steel becomes clear. Having secured a place at the prestigious elven warrior academy, Cinder seeks to expand his knowledge and perhaps even shame the arrogant and self-centered elves considered unsurpassed warriors.
