Honor Carved From Ruin

The son of a traitor has no claim to anything. At least, that’s what the kingdom decided when young Gareth’s father rose against the crown. Stripped of his title and lands, and angry at his father’s fateful decision, Gareth chose the only path left to him: fight for the very king who executed his father and stole his future.

Ten years of blood and loyalty earned him plenty of scars… but not forgiveness. And when the king falls in battle to the rebellion, Gareth’s last hope of royal pardon dies with him.

With the king’s death, however, comes new hope. The land is free from royal rule and ripe with opportunity, so Gareth returns home to take back his family’s legacy. What he finds is a land torn apart by war, carved up by bandits, and ruled by fear.

A decade of battle has forged a hardened warrior out of the naïve young nobleman Gareth once was and he isn’t going to let these brigands stand in his way. That all changes when a vengeful sorceress, a relic of his past, enters the fray, and now even Gareth might not have the strength to save the land from despotism and despair.
