Flesh and Bone

Two swords stand in a pool of blood. A ring lies in a pile of ashes. Has the promised legacy come to a gruesome end? When evil marched on the homestead of a family friend, Dar called in blood oaths sworn to him to defend the castle. Now he's imprisoned, shackled, broken, and bleeding, convinced he has murdered his beloved wife in the heat of battle. Prior to the conflict, Etain escorted a highly regarded mage to safety and was ordered to stay with her. She agreed provided no harm came to her husband. But the moment Dar disappeared, she abandoned her charge and stepped into a battle ridden world in search of him. With no hope of overcoming the evil threat without their strongest warrior, everything weighs on the connection between Etain and Dar. Can she break through his despair in time to save his life without losing her own?
