Shawn P. Cormier

Young Ilien knows nothing of the dark tales told around late-night fires, or of the legendary Nomadin wizards and the prophesy that haunts them. But all that is soon to change. For a shadow touches the peaceful land of Nadae. An ancient evil is stirring. Already a NiDemon has crossed from the land of the dead. And now Ilien must run - from a monster of unimaginable cunning and power, toward a fate more frightening than that which hunts him. But he cannot run forever. Eventually he will have to make a stand. Sooner or later he will have to face what even the legendary Nomadin cannot . . . himself.

"Shawn Cormier is a wonderful new voice in fantasy, as he leads the reader on a fun and stout-hearted journey into imaginative and colorful Princess Bride territory. Nomadin will surely strike a receptive chord with fans of Tolkien and Robert Jordan. More, Shawn Cormier!"
