The Shield of the People
Thadeon of the Aldeaaris is the general who keeps a fractured alliance from war. His brother Thamred is the young paladin with magic Thadeon will never have. Delaine is the mage Thadeon loves, the outsider his family despises, and the closest thing Thamred has to a sister.
When the queen is murdered, Thadeon watches religious fervor sweep through Balneor like fire through dry grass. The holy man his family trusted for decades is fanning the flames, and the alliance Thadeon fought to hold together is already fracturing. Sending Thamred and Delaine to safety, he rides to prevent a war that's already closer than anyone knows.
But safety is an illusion, and the war Thadeon hoped to prevent has already begun.
