He vows his revenge and sets about on his ‘path to vengeance’ by purchasing and upgrading four starfighters for him and his friends.

As a result of his intense emotional trauma brought on by his losses, he experiences troubling and disturbing dreams, leading to bouts of severe depression.

Feeling guilty over the loss of his loved ones, especially his fiancée, Grogaan avoids romantic involvement until Joeen, his brother’s former fiancée re-enters his life, causing him more emotional turmoil. This is further compounded by an unexpected encounter with Ellarna, a Senator's daughter, who he is besotted with.

A chance meeting with members of a long forgotten sect, ‘The Brotherhood of the Teragon Eagle’, on a nearby planet, together with information revealed to him by his mother, prove Grogaan’s unique abilities are due to his family heritage; an ancestor having been a respected wizard and a member of the Guardian Order.

Grogaan and his friends prove their piloting skills and spearhead the counter offensive against the Krelathan raiders. However, it’s his abilities enhanced by his gift of magic that take him and his friends on a path that impacts on the future of the galaxy as foretold by a two hundred year old prophecy; a path he begins to tread while developing a powerful relationship with one of the two women.

Review by: Reginald Bunsworth on Feb. 17, 2013 :
First off, i am not a big reader of sci-fi, tending to go more for classical and historic novels. I was recommemded this book and i must say i was very impressed. For a first novel there was enough going on in this book to hold my interest right until the end, which just left me eager to start the second.
The story starts out with a young man aspiring to be a top-grade fighter pilot, both to seek revenge on the krelathans and also to escape his home planet and explore the universe, so you start off wanting to read on to find out the background of this man, Grogaan. the story weaves between the present and flashbacks of the past without ever seeming to drag or giving too much away, making reading interesting and never boring. the development of the characters throughout adds much to the story and the descriptive writing sets the scene brilliantly.
All in all, a great first effort and i eagerly anticipate the next book; the sorcerer's duel
