About this book

Synopsis - In the service of the crook-shouldered King Rynert, Aldric has been dishonoured and sold into the Drusalan Empire in an example of Machiavellian statecraft. Here in the hated Empire, he lies at the mercy of those who have loathed him and all he stands for, for generations. But Aldric is a High-Clan Lord, skilled in the art of the sword, a scholar and an expert in Art Matic, a warrior who has seen the best and seen the worst. And even in the Drusalan Empire there are allies which include Ymareth, The Dragon.
