In this book, five villagers set out on a quest to warn of an invading army. Many obstacles are set against them, and they face many struggles - both internal and external -along the way. It's a really great book! I liked it very much: the imagery and scenery are superb without being overwhelming, drawing you in without inundating you. This world is very vividly created, down to the smallest details. Like Tolkien, you get the feeling that you're entering a real world, rather than persuading your imagination to overlook implausibilities. A great read - I recommend it for sure!
