Riding the Storm

Nobody knows better than Jeorek that a Stormrider without a sorcerer is nothing but unfulfilled potential.  When he finally finds a young man with a resonant aura, however, he discovers that the sorcerer fate has bequeathed him isn't anything like what he expected.  At first glance, Dare is a mute, crippled slave with no discernible power, but he soon proves to be far more than he appears.  He's not only a nobleman's son, but he's also one of the most powerful Illusionists in the empire.  So how did he wind up as a slave?  As Jeorek learns about his sorcerer's shadowed past, he must gain Dare's trust to unravel the mystery that surrounds him before the young man's enemies become his own.  In a world where magical illusions can obscure reality, will he be able to see the danger coming?  What's more, will he be able to weather the storm?
