The Legend of Endeavor - John Craddock

This book, although firmly embedded in the fantasy fiction genre, is more about a man's struggle to come to terms with the enforced changes in his life. It takes you, via the hero, Fadrian, on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and adventure. The world of Galleth Major is in turmoil, more turmoil than anyone could know and is in desperate need of a hero. The trouble is Fadrian doesn't know it.
In this, the first book of the Legend of Endeavor trilogy, the troubles of the known world are only just becoming apparent. Fadrian thoughts are elsewhere though as he tries to find his only surviving kin, his son Dratan. His search alone is a quest of epic proportions, without the problems of the outside world that are laying in ambush for him.
