it\'s about this country boy finding out that he is the reincarnated form of a legendary champion for the Light. he discovers he can channel the one power, which drives the universe (kinda like the Force in Star Wars). prophecies state that when a series of events happen, the Last Battle will occur. the Last Battle is the final confrontation between the Light and the Dark. the series follows the lives of the most influential characters as the Last Battle approaches. i know that was a horrible explanation. i\'ve always been terrible at explaining things. hope that clears it up though. it\'s a really well written series, and can be found in the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section in most book stores.
