"Behold the origin story of the famed and wildest hero, Brad Silverhilt, one of the Seven Harbingers. Their arrival heralded a new age of great impact on the World of Aerkha."  "A candidate for the Knighthood of Illuen, Brad Silverhilt, faces a formidable challenge not only from the Knighthood itself but also from the malevolent forces he encountered on his journey to become a knight. However, the greatest threat to his success comes from within, as he wrestles with the demons in his mind. Born with this affliction, will he be able to subdue the beast? As fate takes him to a critical juncture, will he succumb to savagery or maintain his humanity?" Author's Note to Reader: "Dear Reader, the Origins of The Seven series comprises separate books featuring the backstory of seven heroes, and there is no specific reading order." This novel, written in the tradition of classic fantasy, aims to weave a tapestry akin to the illustrious campaign tales such as Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms, while retaining its own unique essence. It could be marked as my fourth attempt in the last fifteen years, but the second to be published here or anywhere.  Previously, I was hesitant to share my work, but now I am eager to receive any criticism. Therefore, dear reader, I implore you to provide your comments freely. Your thoughts are invaluable to me. Thank you in advance, and I hope you relish this tale.
