Unfortunately, he is attacked during the climb by a powerful rogue shadowguard and falls to certain doom. Tal decides to steal a new one by climbing one of the towers through the Veil. It appears that an enemy of the family is trying to prevent Tal from obtaining a new sunstone. Tal tries various means to obtain a new sunstone, but nothing works. Now without it, they cannot heal Tal's sick mother and they could potentially be demoted in the society class structure. He was in possession of their family sunstone. One day Tal learns that his father is missing, presumed dead. This society also lives in an enormous castle on a mountain isolated from the rest of the seemingly desolate planet. The shadowguards protect their owners, reflect their moods, and help carry out the wills of their masters. One of the privileges of being in the order is that you are given a Shadowguard - a spirit being that takes the place of your natural shadow. Below them are the Underfolk, the servants of the other orders. The Violet Order is the highest (consisting of the Empress) while the Red Order is one of the lowest groups. The society is also broken into various castes designated by colors from the light spectrum. The whole culture Tal lives in is centered around the sunstones. The magic from the sunstones can emit light, heal wounds, and various other wondrous things. The only source of light comes from sunstones, magical rocks which store sunlight when taken above the veil into tall towers. This world is covered by a magical black layer called the Veil which blocks out all sunlight. Tal is a young man who lives in a fantasy world. This is the first book in The Seventh Tower series. It is a new series of fantasy books produced by Lucas Books, the publishing division of Lucasfilm.
