Gerald Matheson yearns to serve the Baron of Bodden. Nothing more.
For years he fought in the Northern Wars, until the day he nearly died defending King Andred IV from raiders. Sent to the capital for healing, Gerald quickly discovers that a man without influence is beneath the regard of a wizard, and he is instead sent to serve in the garrison, despite his crippling injury.
Fate intervenes while he is in the slums of the capital, changing the course of his life. Caught up in a failed military action, Gerald becomes the scapegoat of the ensuing massacre. Saved from death by his mentor, he is instead banished from the capital, sent into obscurity at a forgotten Royal Estate.
As he struggles to adapt to his new lot in life Gerald uncovers a secret the king has carefully hidden away from prying eyes. His discovery will have repercussions, changing the fate and future of the entire kingdom.
Follow this unlikely hero in a new fantasy adventure that mixes military battles, mystery, and magic with a dash of humour to create a compelling coming of age story!
