    About this series

    "We'll breath life into this corpse of a kingdom yet."

    Since its destruction, the survivors of the Kingdom of Valec have labored to restore their homeland. As the last member of the royal bloodline, Count Daven has been their leader. He has kept them safe and secret from the many enemies of the fallen kingdom, even as he seeks to pass the burden of rule on to other men.

    Now the time for secrecy has passed. Trouble between their old foes calls Daven to a foreign court, where he must convince the King of Normarch – who played a prominent part in Valec's downfall – to recognize the rights of his people. If Daven can make new friends of old enemies, his people will have a future.

    If not, then the fast-approaching war will reduce his people – and their fledgling kingdom – to ash.

      "Pa says I'm a dreamer, always with my eye on the horizon." Raised in a remote village, young William knows little of the world beyond his father's fields. Even villagers have stories, though - tales of war, and honorable knights, and fair maidens - and William knows them all. Coary is a lost son of Carn Nebeth, a returning soldier who brings with him stories of a devastating war, a dead kingdom and a world ripped in two. William is more interested in his weapon, a simple soldier's blade - yet to a young boy, the weapon of lords and heroes. Despite the dreams of young William, it isn't long before the excitement of Coary's return dies down, and village life resumes its quietly hectic pace. There may be a swordsman in town, but there are no dragons to slay, or damsels to rescue. Coary himself is more than happy to return to a quiet life, free of the violence he has known. The war, though, has created many dangerous men. Not all of them have tired of conquest – and some of them have wondered what lay down that lonely country road...

      Jon is a weaponsmith who yearns to forge the perfect blade. Having learned all he can from the Masters back home, he has traveled to the clans of the distant southern mountains. There live the ironmasters, the finest smiths in the world, and keepers of knowledge that Jon hungers to know. Amongst the clans, Jon's dedication earns him respect, and he befriends Arodan, one of the last of the ironmasters and a man embittered by the slow death of his profession. Arodan teaches him many things, and Jon grows to unrivaled mastery of their craft. When he leaves Arodan, Jon has learned all the many secrets of the ironmasters - including some that more suspicious folk might consider sorcerous. Despite Arodan's fervent belief, Jon disregards the old superstitions... even when three clansmen come to him in the wake of a bloody slaughter, hoping to wreak their revenge with weapons of legend.

      The Big Walk is a sacred tradition of the clansmen, and now it is Hedmund's turn to leave home and travel the world awhile, selling his service to any man with the gold. With a sword to match his stature – and a talent for fighting to match them both – he takes up with the clan nobleman Colin, a man scarcely older than Hedmund himself, but also a man trained to lead. With their own kingdom in a period of peacefulness, the clansmen travel far in search of a worthy conflict, and find themselves drawn to the Free Duchies – a region of city-states, merchants, and pirates. In this land, the young clansmen will fight their way to riches – or die trying.
