Ancient house above Oath Plain, Who is your child?
Why has he come?
His coming is unexpected. His gifts offer hope. The hawker can lighten their burdens, but at what cost to himself? Only the ancient runes can reveal the secrets of men's hearts. Long forgotten by many, known only to a few, and understood by none, the runes weave a destiny that cannot be denied-a name to proclaim, an oath to fulfill. And, what of the Hawker and the secrets of his heart? Perhaps the runes mean nothing at all. Perhaps they mean everything.
"A novel worthy of exploration and fascinating to both the legal mind and the casual reader."

"Exciting, thorough, a believable time and place. A journey that leaves you wanting more."
