FAMILY - HONOR - BETRAYAL
The royal council of the Riland Kingdom has been shattered, its leaders slain or scattered. The kingdom is in chaos. With Baron Stoutheart and the rightful heir both missing, the burden of command falls upon Gavin Stoutheart, a youth better known for defiance than duty.
Untrained in rule and hunted by invading forces, Gavin must lead a desperate evacuation of castle servants, frightened peasants, and small children through a land already burning with was as enemy forces close in from the north.
Armed with nothing but a sharp tactical mind and forbidden crystal magic, Gavin must choose whether to cling to the rules of a fallen kingdom, or break those rules to save his people.
In the chaos of war, only one side can prevail.
