A wounded soldier comes to consciousness on a hillside above a forest. His helmet and sword are gone, but he still wears the bloodstained remnants of his armour, on which the words "Kutrama and Sintra" are printed. The soldier looks about in astonishment - he has no idea how he got there or who he is. He believes he has been in a mighty battle, but as to the cause or outcome he has no idea. Only later does he learn that the last battle in that kingdom was over a century ago.
And so begins Knight's Dawn, the first part in a major new fantasy trilogy from an exciting new voice in fantasy fiction.
