For thirty years, the Kingdom of Kaerlia, the Order, and the
Vales have together held back the Empire. Now the king who
forged that alliance is dead. His heir, preferring subjects
to allies, is trying to seize control of the Order. Its Lady
Commander has vanished. To put the alliance back together Harald will have to -- Raise an army from the Vales, where nobody owes allegiance
to anyone. Find and rescue the Lady Leonora -- if she is
still alive. End a civil war. Persuade a young king that he
is making a very large mistake. And do it all with as little
killing as possible. Because he will need every lancer of
the Kingdom and every Lady of the Order when the Emperor and
his legions, the best infantry in the world, come south again. But wars are not won only by fighting, even the best
infantry in the world has to eat and drink, Harald has a lot
of friends, and a story, sometimes, is more useful than a sword.
