The Fellowship of the Flame: A Chronicles of Purpura Novella (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780984103737)

Caggril, ruthless mercenary and tracker, needs enough gold to release himself from the Purpuran army. Only then can he leave war behind and seek the near mythical land of Aerdem, by all reports a paradise.

Cap, a ten-year-old street urchin, knows it's mad to attack the brutal queen of Purpura. But he's hell-bent on realizing his dream, to join the Purpuran resistance, and one bold action might just do it.

Bent on revenge for Cap's raid, the queen promises to free Caggril from his bond if he brings the boy back. But Cap has other problems. He learns that the queen is setting a trap for the resistance. With a wolf on his tracks and time running out, he has to warn the Fellowship.
