Spoiler-free synopsis
The Trials of Knights
Tarimev Riswaell once dreamed of joining the King’s army. Grief and duty kept him on his family farm—until a bandit attack destroys his home and leaves him with little more than his father’s sword and an old ambition.
In the capital city of Alerill, Tarimev enters the recruit programme and is partnered with Torvald Storheam, a gifted young warrior carrying burdens of his own. Their training quickly takes them beyond the barracks, into criminal conspiracies, royal danger and missions where failure has real consequences.
As Tarimev discovers a world far larger than the village he left behind, his final trials draw him towards the Yevanti Wilds, a warrior queen and an ancient power that should have remained buried.
