A knight's secret quest
When Gilven is given intelligence regarding his country's deadliest enemy yet, the wizard Shavras, King Justice commissions him to confirm the information with hopes of tracking down the sorcerer.
This clandestine journey over land and sea will take the First Knight to his childhood homeland of Waldony, surprisingly, where he will encounter a Daughter of the Order, who is part of an ancient Order of gifted women who are rarely seen and little is known of them.
The woman who holds the key
Gilven eventually learns the Holy Woman is a prophetic sign - like the morning star, she appears in the darkness just hours before light breaks upon the earth. The women of the Order are forbidden to engage in battle or violence of any kind, but the First Knight will need the priestess's help to overcome the wizard and bring justice to his beloved Dungh Ga Da.
**Fans of C.S. Lewis, Juliet Marillier, and Howard Pyle will discover a mythic tale of prophecy and sacrifice that weighs the price of war against the unshakable value of peace, asking, for whom are we fighting? A story of honor, homecoming, and a lighthearted knight who turns every battle into a testament of why he fights.
