Though it is not till well in the book that the actual quest begins, there's enough happening before this to make it a fast-paced page turner. So the three of them band together to set out and seek the source of the evil themselves, following in the steps of the heroes who had tried to defeat it before them. When the peace of their village is threatened by attacks from the Nethergrim's monstrous minions, and children from the village are captured, Edmund finds in a stolen book of magic the knowledge that might lead them to the source of the evil.but the adults refuse to believe the missing children might be alive. Much of this first book sets the stage for things to come, introducing us to the central three characters-Edmund, whose nascent gift of magic has never been encouraged by his harsh father, Katherine, trained by her father in combat and horse training, and Tom, hard worked slave to a harsh master, whose own gifts of healing and animal husbandry verge on the preternatural.
