Having gone to the neighbouring kingdom to find the Shotput of Power, Raneth returns to Giften triumphant.
Yet when he and his fiance - Dagger Bearer Aldora Leoma - reach the village nearest the king, they find it obliterated by fire. Rushing to the nearby palace reveals the royal family have fled, the Kingdom’s Shield is gone, and Giften Kingdom has been seized by Aldora’s uncle.
Now Raneth’s Three Ks Oath and his bloodline requires him to save the version of Giften that he grew to love. He must return the royal family to the throne, and he must do so with the Kingdom’s Shield, and preferably with Aldora’s uncle killed for treason.
But Aldora’s loyalty is wavering. Will she choose Raneth and the Giften they knew, or her uncle and the new deadly Giften their home is becoming?
