The Lost Scion Description
No principles are more important to the Order of the Balanced Scales than those of honor and justice. But sometimes they are not always upheld.
After months spent on the road vanquishing evildoers, Xieraine Laedrin and his mentor Amara Trueheart return to Highwater City and the Temple of the Balanced Scales for a well-deserved respite. But when a mysterious thief wearing Xier’s face steals an artifact from the temple vaults, it soon becomes apparent that rest will have to wait.
Framed for the crime and facing expulsion from the Order as a result, Xier is desperate to prove his innocence—and he is not the only one. High Justicar Atreus Guardianshield, the leader of the Order of the Balanced Scales, is just as eager to prove that Xier was uninvolved for reasons all his own. Together, they set out to find the real thief and to learn what their intentions were in framing Xier.
But, as they uncover the perpetrator’s identity and motivations, it becomes clear that the issue is more complicated than it seems. Worse, the thief also brings to light the failings of the Order and the knights who serve it, raising doubts in Xier’s mind about the purity and fidelity of his comrades—and even about his own place in the Order. Will he manage to overcome his doubts and prove his innocence, or will his time as a knight of the Balanced Scales come to an end when it has only just begun?
The Lost Scion is a 16,000 word fantasy story, the third in the Rise of the Oathsworn series.
