The Unsent: Book One of The Ivar of Arabia Series
Denmark, 831.
Ivar Hrolfsson loses his father's earldom in a single afternoon, in a field, to a duller man than himself.
He takes it well. He crosses the ring and shakes his cousin's hand and says the words.
Then a man he isn't even talking to says something small, and Ivar doesn't think.
Outlawed for a killing that carries no price, he sails east — for Constantinople, and the one city on earth where a man's past does not follow him.
He never arrives.
What he finds instead is an empire that runs on documents, a language he cannot speak, and a law he never troubled to ask about. And a rented room above a paper shop, where every night he writes home to a woman who will never receive a word of it.
He tells her he will not be long.
THE UNSENT is the first book of IVAR OF ARABIA, set in the world of the Cain Chronicles.
