Lords Of Havenstone : Dhresden'S Rise eBook

Despite the array of colors set ablaze in both field and forest by the sun's radiant autumn beams, the inhabitants of the Pasturelands are wrapped in the shadow and gloom of sorrow. Dhane, the loved and respected lord of Havenstone, who many years before had delivered his homeland from perils of corruption, legend, and lore, has died without proclaiming an heir to his throne. His undeclared son, Dhresden, a half-blood warrior whose past is shrouded in mystery, rumor, and scandal, has acted faithfully as Dhane's personal protector and chief trainer of the military for many years. Despite the political and social obstacles that would oppose him should Dhresden seek to take his rightful place as ruler, there are also treacherous schemes already in motion that could not only thwart his ascension, but also end his life. His quest to return to Havenstone is fraught with danger and hardship, and though individuals from neighboring lands band together to aid in his adventure, the success of his endeavor will remain in question until the end. Though Dhresden is often a target of disdain because of his questionable beginnings, he himself behaves honorably, inspiring others to his cause, not to success at any cost, but to a crusade of honor and justice, recognizing that the journey is just as important as the destination. The friendships, love, losses, and pain that he endures will further sculpt him into a fit ruler, should he manage to survive these and other perils, and be crowned the lord of Havenstone.
