Falcon Dagger is a riveting medieval adventure. The third book in a complete series where Noblebright tropes ignite the imagination – the lost heir, evil lords, court intrigue, haven and hunt, rivals and romance.
From second chances to powerful enemies, trials of destiny to oaths kept, each story offers a spark of hope, a heart of courage, and an echo of meaning.
One disguise. One usurper. One defense.Kyrin will spend her blood to protect her stronghold against those who would destroy their very memory. Yet weakness blooms in the betrayal of a Brother’s hope as Kyrin Cieri and her House fight for the light they guard for Britannia. Evil waxes by sinuous, deadly, hidden ways to bring about a kingdom’s fall. Until one man rises up to oppose treachery in his own heart and uncovers the first threads of long-laid plots and whispers of a coming king.
While Kyrin bears the unborn heir, a thief steals the Damascus sword from the very hall of her stronghold. Berd, first armsman of Cieri, must recover the stolen blade and reveal a hidden traitor. But Kyrin’s companion Celine vows to find the sword first, for she is as strong as any man.
Lord Thain Mornoth plots to take the king’s seat and silence the whispers of hope. He accuses Berd and Celine of terrible crimes, entangling them in webs of deceit and treachery and the regent’s doubt. Then the insidious hand behind Thain brings a great reset to the land that will end in fire.
Against a backdrop of old enemies and new alliances the coming king remains hidden. Can Berd and Celine uncover the broken oaths around them in time to protect the lost prince, prove their oaths, and lead the people of Britannia to hope? For any land is only as good as its king.
One heir must survive. One must be protected. Or all will end in ash.
