They were the heroes of old, Men of Renown. This is their story... Saph wants to be remembered. He wants the bards to sing of his deeds throughout Atlantis and beyond. He wants his name to live on. Born the son to one of the four angelic guardians of Eden, Saph has a lot to live up to. When joined in battle by the most famous of his kinfolk, he is quickly disillusioned by their corrupt standards for success. Then he meets Jared, a humble shepherd boy with an exceptional talent with animals. Soon Saph finds himself on a most unexpected adventure into the ruins of a lost empire-and into the arms of a beautiful woman whose quest to save an endangered species may lead to the most famous of heroic endeavors the world has ever known.
