Paksenarrion, a simple sheepfarmer's daughter, yearns for
a life of adventure and glory, such as was known to heroes
in songs and story. At age seventeen she runs away from
home to join a mercenary company and begins her epic life.
Trained as a mercenary she distinguishes herself, but
leaves the Dukes service to follow the path of Gird, the
soldier's god. That path leads her on a holy quest for a
lost elven prince that brings the gods' wrath down on her
and rests her very limits.
