Gerid Aramathea and his brother Simon find their home destroyed and friends and family killed, all because of a simple duel between the sixteen year old boy and the king’s guards. Fleeing the country, the two young men vow to return someday to make King Merrick pay for his crimes.
Their flight aboard a merchant vessel goes awry as pirates attack. Separated and sold into slavery, can Gerid and his brother find a way to save themselves, find each other back and still find a way to fulfill their vow?
Follow as a continent is thrown into war from a driven king and those that fight against him. Can there be resistance to a man wielding so much power?
