Title : The Birth of the Sword Volume 1 - Margaret Weis - book
Summary :
Persecuted magicians have fled to another world where mere human beings are called the Dead—those who are not awake—as distinct from the dead—those who have fallen asleep forever. However, a prophecy proclaims: "There will be born in the Royal House a child who will be dead and yet will live, who will die again and be reborn. And when he returns, he will hold in his hand the destruction of the world." Bishop Vanya goes to test the emperor's newborn son; having no gift, he is declared Dead and taken by the catalyst Saryon to the test that will make him dead. Soon after, a young woman, Anja, and her baby Joram arrive in a village. They live there in poverty, Anja teaching Joram conjuring tricks that allow him to conceal his death. But when Joram reaches his seventeenth year, the village chief summons him to prove he has the gift. He flees to a village of sorcerers who practice the forbidden art of technology... It is there that the adult Joram will be recognized for what he truly is and forge his own sword.
