Branded Book 1: Skald (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798985694703)

Governing the far eastern territory of his country, Fitzeirick does his best to keep his people safe. Vicious raids along the southern border force him to appear before the ruling council for aid. Instead of helping, his half-brother's deceit has him branded a traitor before tossing him into a secret dungeon. Thanks to the criminals imprisoned with him, 'kill or be killed' is his way of life until he can find a way out.

Unsure of who remains loyal to him, given the mark he carries, Fitzeirick flees to his mother's homeland. Can he reunite with his friends and avoid capture along the way? Armed with only his innate magic and a dull, ceremonial sword, he travels north wary of the welcome he may receive. If he can reach the safety of Varia, will they help him save his people? Is he willing to pay the price?

Skald is the first book in the Branded trilogy. An epic story with elemental magic, fighting, deception, political maneuvering, and a splash of humor.
