Synopsis

Powerful sorcerers vie for a holy artifact, possibly dooming a nation. A mighty knight is needed, yet a boy undertakes the quest. Is young Roland up to the task?

In Stratvs, swords, once pledged to justice, now rust on the altars of the self-righteous. Can one boy's quest for approval restore a peoples' hope?

When two spies escape during young Roland’s watch, they begin a chain of events not intended by Fate that may threaten a kingdom. Roland is driven by his shame to take up his axes and track them down. Raised on the rural edges of Gallhallad, can he survive the dangers of the road ahead? Can his ideas of right and wrong weather the complexities of the path before him?

With the help of his lifelong friend Eldryn, the Cavalier hopeful, and an uneasy bargain with a dagger wielding cutpurse, Roland pursues a wizard of unknown powers and a woman of uncommon beauty and deadly skill.

Will Roland’s vanity not only doom him, but his friends and a king he hoped to one day serve as well?

“Hanson’s very visceral writing style captures the breathtaking excitement, terror, and wonder of fantasy adventure…” – Jon Black (award-winning author of the Fairytale Fantasy novel Bel Nemeton)
