For long dark centuries, legend spoke of a Prince born to save the world... and now that Prince is dead.My father, no more than a farmer, was entrusted by the king with his son's last wish to have his ashes scattered in the north. But he did not make that journey alone...Captured by agents of uncertain motive and carried off into strange and hostile lands, my father found himself a pawn in a game between two kingdoms...a game he must learn to play or die.This is no tale for the fainthearted. The stout and true... May they read, and understand.
