Lord Benard Vayne was born to protect his people. Beloved by his town, respected for his sword arm and selfless heart, he would do anything to shield Dahira from the creeping threat of war. But when a mysterious emissary offers him aid against a rising dark power, Benny makes an oath that changes everything.
