Stormguard

Twenty years after the murder of High Chancellor of the Stormcouncil, the city of Onaara has finally reached a tentative peace. The port is bustling, the marketplace is a throng of travelers and merchants and salesmen, and the Stormcouncil has a new, democratically elected King. But whispers in hushed corners of the city speak of an old threat, an ancient threat. A cloud of doubt hovers over the city as its citizens hold their collective breaths. And What will the new King do about the Stormguard? Or, rather, what will the Stormguard do about the new King?
Peace hovers on the blade of a knife, and only one young man has the courage to test its sharpness, prince of the stormguard and last of his name, Mikhaile Istal.
