The vast road network of Honce, completed a decade before, had brought great optimism to the people of the land.#xA0;Commerce could travel more freely and so could armies, and those armies, it was hoped, would rid the land at long last of the vicious, bloody cap dwarfs and goblins.#xA0;For the first time, the many individual kingdoms, the holdings of Honce, would be brought closer together, perhaps even united.#xA0; For the last few years, those promises had become a nightmare to the folk, as two powerful lairds fought for supremacy of a hoped-for united kingdom. Bransen Garibond, the Highwayman, held little real interest in that fight.#xA0;To him the warring lairds were#xA0;two sides of the same coin.#xA0;Whichever side won, the outcome for the people of Honce would be the same, Bransen believed. A journey north, however, taught Bransen that his views were simplistic at best, and that some things--like honor and true friendship-- might truly matter.#xA0; In The Dame, Bransen's road becomes a quest for the truth, of Honce and of himself, a quest to put right over wrong.#xA0;That path is fraught with confusion and fraud, and a purposeful blurring of morality by those who would seek to use the Highwayman's extraordinary battle skills and popularity among the commonfolk for their own nefarious ends.
