A Knight's Duty

Henry Keiss, a knight of House Toris,is viewedonly as a failure and a burden by his peers. With more losses than victories under his belt and a string of rumors that he is a "cursed" existence, Henry was the only surviving officer of the Battle at Blue Hill which took Lord Toris away from the world. Henry himself did not leave unscathed.

The new Lord Toris views Henry as a stain, but valuesthe integrity ofan honestknight. He allows Henry to keep hispositionbut essentially robs him of any titles and status he once had by relegating him to an unofficial babysitting duty and "acquiring" his land for the purposes of recovery. Henry is left as the protector of the black sheep of Toris, it's one-eyed son.

A bitter and weak noble child and the cynical failure of a knight that he blames for the death of his father. A combination that seems unlikely to cause anything but grief. The realm could not guess that these two would go on to do more than just lead the Toris into a new age. They would go on to change the realm itself.

This is the story of a Knight's Duty.
