55 parts Ongoing Erik Torston is a simple hog farmer, the head of the family after his father and half brother answered a summons to war five years ago. When a new summons comes, he and his friends answer the call, leaving River Bend and the only home they've ever known.
Erik is reluctantly forced into the world of soldiers and politics, questioning who he is as he navigates a secret family connection, a scheming Duke, and his attraction to the beautiful Lady Abigail.
Circumstance takes him to the Capital, where royal secrets and a war threatens not only everything Erik has ever known, but his life as well.

Lady Abigail wants nothing more than to go home to raise her uncle's infant daughter Mouse in the warmth of her family home while he grieves the loss of his wife in childbirth. She plans to head home when the army mustering for the King heads for the coast. That army includes Erik Torston, the handsome and somewhat mysterious new recruit.
When the Duke arrives to inspect the troops, it starts a series of events that changes the plan for everyone at Berrigan Keep, thrusting Abigail and Mouse into the viper's nest of the royal court, where whispered scandals are currency, and nothing is what it seems...
Including Erik Torston.
