A LOST CHILD. A RUTHLESS NEW ENEMY. A KINGDOM ON THE BRINK OF WAR.

It’s 1270, and when Lord Rory of Hambrig sets sail for Germany, he believes his mission is simple – rescue Aggie, the six-year-old daughter of the minstrel, Master Kit. But Aggie is no ordinary child. Wherever she goes, misfortune follows. Some call her cursed. Others whisper of great Powers awakening. And then – she vanishes.

Before Rory can unravel the mystery, enemy forces threaten his homeland. Nightmolben Castle is under attack, and the relentless Teutonic Knights seek dominion over Mallrovia.

As Rory prepares for battle, memories of his past haunt him. Shadows of the Crusade, of oaths taken and blood spilled, echo in the chaos of the present.

But Rory must also attempt a daring rescue – the Mallrovian wife of Duke Louis II of Bavaria is trapped in a cruel and loveless marriage. Only Rory can set her free – unless the minstrel’s daughter comes to the rescue.

What power does Aggie truly possess, and will it bring salvation or ruin? Can Rory defend his people before his enemies tear everything from him?

As the battle lines are drawn and shadows creep ever closer, Rory must face the truth he has long avoided: some battles never truly end…
