Book II of the White Hart Series continues the tale of Talymar, a young man living in 6th century Anglo-Saxon England. He believed his destiny had been to be a farmer, priest of the old ways, and husband. However, those dreams died when six men brutally murdered his family. On a quest for revenge, he took the helm, armor, and sword from his grandfather's grave. Now, he travels northward into the Kingdom of Mercia, where an ancient prophecy foretold the coming of 'Rex Draconis.' Mercian nobles both anticipate and fear the coming of such a man. One noble and his grey-eyed sorceress await him with foul intent.For good or ill, shadowy, unseen forces are watching Talymar. Wolves, ravens, and death wait around each bend in the road north and that road has many twists and turns. But only one path will lead Talymar to the mason's daughter and the woman with the golden-green eyes. It's a path that will certainly destroy a meek farmer's boy, and by themselves, Grandfather's fine armor and a pattern-welded sword will not create a warrior. A bolder, stronger, and wiser lad--a twin his grandfather might have said--must emerge if he is to survive. Such a warrior must be forged in the heat of battle and tempered with the knowledge of when to draw his sword and when to leave it sheathed. Choice and destiny collide until they become indistinguishable, as Talymar must decide whether to return to the life of a farmer or become a warrior. However, not all choices are black or white. Will the White Hart lead him onto a path that encompasses both?
