CSFF Tour - The Orphan King

A month has flown by already? It seemed just yesterday we were doing the tour for Shannon Dittemore and her book Angel Eyes (BTW, her next book in the series, Broken Wings, just released).

But we are now two months in to 2013, and it is time for another CSFF feature. This time we're doing The Orphan King, a new series by Sigmund Brouwer.

I didn't have time to read this book, but here's the synopsis from Amazon:
The future of the Immortals is in the hands of an orphan
 My greatest fear was that they would find us and make of us a sacrifice beneath a full moon. Now you, Thomas, must help us destroy the circle of evil. 
The last words of a dying woman would change the life of young Thomas. Raised behind monastery walls, he knows nothing of his mysterious past or imminent destiny. But now, in the heart of medieval England, a darkness threatens to strangle truth. An ancient order tightens their ghostly grip on power, creating fear and exiling those who would oppose them. Thomas is determined fulfill his calling and bring light into the mysterious world of the Druids and leaves the monastery on an important quest. Thomas quickly finds himself in unfamiliar territory, as he must put his faith in unusual companions—a cryptic knight, a child thief, and the beautiful, silent woman whom may not be all she seems.  From the solitary life of an orphan, Thomas now finds himself tangled in the roots of both comradery and suspicion. Can he trust those who would join his battle…or will his fears force him to go on alone?
It sounds intriguing, but the folks below will have more information on it. I was able to read Gillian's overview of book one, and she's writing about the second book in the series next (Fortress Of Mist), so definitely check her out.
