The Tattered Banner
Unique talent always attracts attention...
In a world where magic is outlawed, ability with a sword is prized above
all else. For Soren this means the chance to live out his dreams.
Plucked from a life of privation, he is given a coveted place at Ostenheim’s
Academy of Swordsmanship, an opportunity beyond belief.
Opportunity is not always what it seems however, and gifts rarely come without
conditions. Soren becomes an unwitting pawn in a game of intrigue and
treachery that could cost him not just his dreams, but also his life.
