Kel Boon has made a quiet life for himself in the sleepy village of Pavmouth Breaks, forming a relationship with trainee witch Namior. 

Then a great storm comes, threatening everyone's way of life and forcing them to accept that life does exist outside the village - and that not all of it is friendly. 

For Kel, it is a time of decision making. If he retains his quiet life, it means the end of the village but if he admits to his secret past then it could mean the end of himself.

Kel had been an agent in the Core, protecting the Noreelans from the threat of the lizard like Strangers.  Will he accept his destiny and his past? 

A dark fantasy, but one which is very enthralling.  I had never read any of his work before, but will now seek it out.  It is imaginative and different, with good characterization and plotting.
