The Way of Edan (The Edan Trilogy, #1)

by Philip Chase

“We must be single-minded in this. My power, your power, all that is. There’s only one purpose for it all: to bring glory to Edan. He manifested this power in me at the end of times, and I must strive to be worthy of the burden He has given me. As supreme priest, I am Aldmund’s heir in more than just title.” “My lord. The strength of the gift in you — no one since Aldmund has had such power. Who could deny this?” “The power that gave him insight into Edan’s truth will enable me to fulfill Edan’s will. It is as the Prophet foretold: Aldmund’s life and power have in truth returned in me. Soon all of Eormenlond will see the signs, for what only he wielded I too wield. And I’ll use it to spread the Way over all of Eormenlond, thus ushering in the Kingdom of the Eternal. Edan ordained it from the beginning. We shall help to glorify Edan’s truth, for His truth is our strength. We are blessed beyond measure to be the vessels of his will. The Kingdom of the Eternal will soon come to be — you and I will witness it. With a vision of His kingdom Edan has blessed me. I have seen it.”
