"An old, half-mad killer marked for death..."Unexpectedly returned to his homeland, Niles is driven to violence when he encounters foreign troops on a lonely country road. His bloody act of defiance attracts other fugitives eager to liberate Lakadia: Simon, a duty-bound officer, Polena, a woman warrior freed from a cell, Leaf the half-elf spy linked to Niles' past, Roger a magician who does not believe in magic, and Kindle, a horse thief who refuses to fight. But while Niles' story inspires the beleaguered Lakadians, what can he offer beyond the lessons of a misspent life and an enchanted bow that does not like to miss? A dreamer and reluctant leader, is he the saviour they believe him to be, or another obstacle to peace and stability?A subversive reworking of traditional fantasy, Truesight is riveting entertainment and a triumph of imaginative storytelling.
