A Knight from Dein

A KNIGHT FROM DEIN, by Peter R Stone Sir Carl Hardcourt, a merchant-knight from Dein, must make a difficult decision. Will he fulfil his obligation to build his father's commercial empire and forsake his chance for courtly love? Or will he heed the call of chivalry and offer his sword to the King of Tenham, who is making a brave yet futile stand against the invincible hordes of grey-skinned, humanoid amalehqs, lead by their brutal king? The Tenhamese Prince Terrance Whitgrave is headstrong and impetuous, but will face betrayal, terror, and dishonour beyond his comprehension. Can honour, once lost, be regained? The Lady Sabina Vipont, considered by all to be the most beautiful woman in Tenham, has been promised in marriage to her love, Prince Terrance. Yet not in her worst nightmares could she have imagined the terrors her future holds due to the insatiable lust of another man - a man she loathes. The elves of Cantala harbour an eons old secret deep within their Holy Citadel. Should the amalehqs learn of its existence, the humans, elves, and dwarves will face certain extinction.
