Description
What do you do when the person you trust the most isn’t who you think they are?
All his life, Xieraine Laedrin’s only living relative has been his mother Nilva, the woman who had risked—and ultimately lost—everything in order to secure a future for them both. As the last members of their family, they have had only each other to turn to in times of need, and so there have never been any secrets between them.
Or, so Xier has always believed. When a mysterious spell-wielding knight and his ghostly minion attempt to abduct Nilva on the streets of Highwater City, claiming that she is a traitor to some fey court that Xier has never heard of, all his past perceptions of her are shattered. It isn’t long before he’s forced to question how well he truly knows his mother—and wonder how much else she might be hiding.
But more pressing matters demand his attention. Nilva’s hunter will not stop until he has successfully captured her and brought her back to his court so that she can pay for her treachery. Xier and his new partner Ruthana Karple will do all in their power to keep him from achieving that goal. But will it be enough? Or will Xier and the two people he cares most about all fall at the blade of the Spell Knight?
The Spell Knight is a 20,000 word fantasy story, the seventh in the Rise of the Oathsworn series.
