Ballad of the Silver Stag is the love story of Lady Eileen Hastings and Ser Luka Ossian - a knight known as "the Silver Stag". As children, Eileen and Luka were intensely in love, but Eileen was a highborn lady, and Luka was a lowborn blacksmith's son. After a tragic incident left Luka permanently scarred, the pair parted ways, certain they would never see each other again. Fifteen years later, when Eileen's father hosts a tourney celebrating his fiftieth birthday, Luka attends as a competitor, and discovers that Eileen is now trapped in a dangerous and loveless marriage. With his honour (and his life) on the line, Luka sets out to help his former love - no matter the consequences. // PREVIEW; full, published version available for purchase on Amazon.
