The world has been under the tyranny of the evil king for 1000 years but the prophecy of his demise is about to come true.  Sim, the Inkeeper's son, to the best of his knowledge is about to learn his true legacy and start to act on it. Many followers find him and he finds others while he begins the action necessary to initiate the prophecy and keep ahead of the king's forces who know things are happening. The action moves quickly, characters are well developed and the reader's interest, at least this one's, is maintained. When the author leaves one character to update you on another, he does this at appropriate times and does not fall into many other author traps of frequent back and forth scenes. I really liked this. The book ends with a breather but much is left to accomplish in the next book or books.
