Synopsis

The kingdom is on the verge of financial collapse brought on by thousands of immigrating orphans. Yet strangely, hundreds are vanishing overnight. Adding to their dire circumstance, a devastating drought plagues Manshire and Saraton provinces further escalating the tension between the landlords and farmers. Rumors of the landlords’ secret plan to overthrow the government are validated when the estate of a powerful landlord burns. Was it arson or accident? Where did the gold come from? Kendrick’s investigation unravels a well-developed plot involving the missing orphans. Time is running out as the origin of the gold is revealed by a pair of escaped orphan miners. Manshire’s Longbow Knights are stretched too thin to rescue the miners, guard the aqueduct construction, maintain peace between the landlords and farmers, ensure the safety of travelers, and defend the castle. Can Kendrick develop a scheme to thwart the landlords’ plot and their Knight-for-hire?
