Publisher's Synopsis
The king is dying, the world is at the brink of war and young Prince Castille finds himself surrounded by murder and treachery. Crippled by an attempt on his life, Cas discovers there is more to manhood than simple physical strength. With the runaway slave Setine and soldier-of-fortune Alden Longman beside him, Cas and his ragtag group of friends find their journey to escape will lead them into the heart of a great battle between good and evil.
