The story of a young farm boy who lives with his aunt and uncle out in the boonies in a place under the control of an evil emperor who overthrew an ancient order of magically powered peacekeepers with the help of a protege who turned evil. Around the same time he returns home after being away for a short time to find that his aunt and uncle have been killed by agents of the emperor, he meets an old hermit who moved out there to watch over him as he grew up, learns of his membership in said ancient order and possession of magical powers, and is given a sword that was once his father's. He and the old man travel forth, with the man training the boy in the use of his powers, and they soon join up with a mysterious rogue. After the old hermit guy dies and they rescue a beautiful princess from one of the empire's strongholds, they reach the hidden base of the rebellion against the evil empire. Then the empire's army discovers the base, there's a huge battle, and the farm boy saves the day.
Oh, and then in the next installment it turns out that that the last remaining member of the old order of magic-users lives in a huge forest, so the farm boy seeks him out for further training! Also, a startling revelation or two is made about his parentage.
Haven't seen that before.
