The Burden of Ash and Blood 2. Wanderer's Vigil

There are currently no reviews.
Mike Carss - The Burden of Ash and Blood (Wanderer's Vigil, Pt. 2).webp

Sam never expected to abandon his modest life as a blacksmith’s apprentice, yet the harrowing death of his parents leaves him no choice. When the reserved knight errant Ser Graeme proffers him a place at his side, Sam grasps at the chance for escape, despite having no clear destination. 

With winter closing in, they aim to reach the city of Langscott before the roads become impassable. Their journey, however, is delayed by a chance encounter: an offer of coin too tempting to refuse. The task is far beyond their expertise, but to earn a living on the road, risk often becomes a matter of routine.

The Burden of Ash and Blood is the second novella of the Wanderer's Vigil series
