Shadow of the Sword

He is imprisoned and bound for death. But could his captor be his savior?

Laster has always wanted to prove himself to his father by becoming a knight of Alamore. Only months away from the end of his training, he has his chance when his own mentor, Sir Dasroch, gives him the honor of riding in place of a knight on a borderland patrol. But the perfect dream he has lived is shattered with the strike of a single lethal arrow.

After a nightmarish attack, Laster finds himself captured by the enemy, chained and imprisoned. As his plans to escape are thwarted one after the next, Laster knows time is running out. It seems there is only one hope left. But can he really trust his life to the very Prince who put him in chains?
