Less than a year ago, Aron of Darien risked his life to deliver Nandor from its enemies. Now a new peril threatens; Lady Celaine is abducted and the bonds of friendship and honour demand Aron returns once again serve the Earl of Nandor. The road to rescue leads them to the infamous city of Keshan and, beyond to a war zone where they face a barbarian horde. For Aron the stakes are higher than ever as he faces demons and traitors and a decision that will change his life.
Due out in November.
Health update: I saw the Haematologist last week and my blood results are stable. No further treatment is planned. I have an appointment on Friday to be assessed for cochlear implants. I very much hope I’m accepted as these offer the prospect of some functional hearing again.
