Fifty years have passed since the Mentite War left much of Eastern Ossiria in ruins. While most of its cities have recovered, resentment grows among the rising generation of nobles whose houses were left desolate by the cost in gold and lives for what they see as the Western kings’ neglect. The young Duke Alfonse III Mennish of Heilicon would rebuild what was lost but first he must retake what is rightfully his. Just across the border in Oravia, Rys Falchin is a boy who never knew war except in his most glorious dreams. When those dreams meet harsh reality, he and fellow soldier Stefen Uradel find themselves drawn ever deeper into a war that may yet destroy them or win them fortunes beyond imaging.
