About Half a King

Yarvi, el hijo menor del rey, nació con una malformación en una mano que ha llevado a todo el mundo, incluso a su propio padre, a considerarlo «medio hombre». Por eso, en lugar de formarse como guerrero, al igual que el resto de varones de su estirpe, se ha dedicado a estudiar para convertirse en uno de los clérigos del reino. Sin embargo, en la víspera de la última prueba para ingresar en esta poderosa orden de sabios, a Yarvi le llega la noticia de que su padre y su hermano han sido asesinados. Él es el nuevo rey. Pero tras una terrible traición a manos de sus seres queridos, Yarvi se encontrará solo en un mundo regido por la fuerza física y los corazones fríos. Incapaz de llevar armadura o de levantar un hacha, deberá afilar y agudizar su mente. Cuando se juntan a su alrededor una extraña hermandad de almas perdidas, descubrirá que esos compañeros inesperados tal vez puedan ayudarle a convertirse en el hombre que quiere ser.
