Oath Of The Silent Sword

They called him 'Strongson,' and his steel was said to be blessed. Until a brutal act of betrayal shattered Paladin Darius Strongson's life, leaving him with a phantom wound of dishonor and a grim, silvered scar running through his eye.

Fleeing a past he can't outrun, Darius has chosen a new battlefield: a neutral tavern at the heart of the world's most dangerous intersection, the Three-River Hub. Here, under the watchful, scarred eye of Old Jack, Darius fights to create a true sanctuary-a place where soldiers from the Highmarsh Keep, the Ironable Citadel, and the Free Territories can sit side-by-side without drawing blood. A place where people can finally rest.

But a man who has lost his faith is a lure for the desperate. When a simple rescue mission forces Darius to pick up a weapon again, he must confront the ghosts of his betrayal and the forces hunting him.

Darius set out to build a safe place for the world. Now, he must decide if he can risk tearing down the very peace he built to finally earn his own redemption.
