Eric had been a loner, a Spacer, and a castaway on a strange planet. He had prevailed over adversity to rise to become the Primec, the "First One" among the people of Carna. The title, ancient in origin, had existed since the first human colonists arrived more than 3800 years before. He was truly one of the First Ones by decree and by blood. He was of that generation that had struck out from Earth to settle a new world. The others had encountered an evaporating black hole and were thrown back through time, while his vessel crossed the gulf of space unmolested. Through the ages, the Guardians of the promise waited for his arrival. One hundred and fifty generations had passed since they were established to keep alive the hope of saving Earth from the madness that had enveloped it. In book three of the Nord Chronicles, Eric must consolidate his control to become the absolute ruler of a planet that is fragmented by distance and culture. Primec and Inheritors cover more than 20 years in the saga of Eric of Nord and tells the story of the rise to manhood of his two twin sons, Joshua and Nicholas. While their quest for their place would take them in different directions, their destinies were forever linked and it would fall to them to complete the promise.
