Kantal is bottom of the pile, but he's destined for more. He is ambitious, and he has talent, and with luck on his side, he will do great things. Either that or he'll die. If only the path was clear. The Sword of the Guardian must be forged of perfection.
Kantal is a fighter, and he sings the warrior song. He has had to. Born with nothing more than a girl's name, he has endured a life of torment. But large obstacles do not imply small expectations. Quite the opposite in fact.
And his country has long suffered too, investing five hundred fruitless years in trying to retake rich lands that were stolen by invaders from the sea. But that may be about to change. Kantal is destined to become guardian of the crown.
Because Kantal has a talent, and he has a plan. Now all he needs is to be heard. Can he finally ride the tide of his hard fought reputation, and succeed where all others have failed? Can he finally sing his warrior song?
