What does it take to build a sanctuary when the whole empire wants you dead?
Daniel Thorne was supposed to be a dead man. Eleven years ago, he broke his oath, turned his blade against the corrupt empire he once served, and fled into the borderlands to save a low-born village baby. Since then he has survived as a lone wolf, relying on his sword to keep his adopted daughter safe.
But the peace will not last. When Daniel takes a contract for Kian Rovan, an illegitimate noble quietly building a rogue army, he's pulled straight into the center of a brewing rebellion. With the looming threat of predatory guilds and rival empires preparing for war, the region is a powder keg ready to blow.
To guarantee his daughter's future, an old soldier will defy the crown and carve a place of his own, no matter what it takes.
First time writing anything besides an essay so please bear with me
