Book of Ballec Chapter 1: Bridge of Sighs
Book of Ballec: PART ONE – Bridge of Sighs
Ancient and mysterious, the Bridge of Sighs is one of Garathia’s greatest weapons against the Rumerian hordes. But when a sudden plague threatens to destabilize the defences of Kettle Keep, Ballec and the Order of the Silver Hawks must ride to protect it. Will they get there in time? What is the nature of this strange affliction? And will Ballec ever achieve his dream of being a true Knight?
READ IT FOR
A captivating glimpse into the World of Ur through the eyes of a young warrior whose greatest gift is his honesty. Ballec may not be the strongest, the most ‘high-born’, or even the best rider in the world, but he has the purest heart of them all, and that’s a damn good start.
STORY
Chaos reigns in the golden of lands of Garathia.
In the southern capital, King Alexius lies poisoned – caught in a sleep without end – while somewhere to the north, Crown Prince Erwin marches to war against the faithless Rumarian forces. Between the two: the Bridge of Sighs, a key strategic and defensive point, suddenly under threat from within.
Ballec has never been in a real fight. All his life he has wanted only one thing: be a Silver Hawk – the most noble and virtuous of the Knightly Orders. Only problem is: he’s not very good with a blade. Or even with a horse, for that matter. His mother says it doesn’t matter: that all those things come later. All he needs is a chance to prove himself. So when Lord Leonas chooses him as squire for the quest to secure the Bridge of Sighs, Ballec cannot believe his good fortune. Little does he know; the adventure will test him in ways he can’t even imagine.
