Description
When a knight must choose between upholding the law or protecting the innocent, what is he to do?
It’s a question that has never occurred to Xieraine Laedrin—until now. When he and Ruthana Karple arrive in the mining town of Sundhaven to answer a call for aid, they find that the community is on the brink of a civil conflict. The town lord and his new advisor are mistreating their people, forcing them to toil endlessly in the mines and disregarding their basic needs.
The people of Sundhaven desperately need Xier’s help—but, as a knight who is supposed to uphold the law of the land, can he really fight against a local government?
And the conflict only deepens as Xier and Ruthana gain the attention of the town lord’s advisor, a strange and dangerous wizard named Aldorn. He’s determined to keep them from interfering with his and his master’s plans, and is prepared to do whatever is necessary to stop them.
Is Xier prepared to do the same?
