His actions must survive investigation, judgment, and the scrutiny of a kingdom in which his blood, his family, and the growing influence of the Sylvans are already matters of contention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen Alexian Fleetwood takes an interest in him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe legendary warrior and Prince of the Sylvan realm, Alexian Fleetwood sees potential in Aster that raw talent cannot fulfill. Under his relentless instruction, Aster must leave behind the certainties of being a noble young Knight-Lieutenant and learn an entirely different kind of discipline: fieldcraft, restraint, perception, responsibility, and the judgment to know when power should-and should not-be used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat begins as the testing of one young knight gradually draws Aster into a much larger world of ancient alliances, royal families, military traditions, magic, and political tensions between Human and Sylvan societies.
