The Maradaine Saga continues with the first novel in the Maradaine Elite series, the fourth thread in this intertwined saga, blending high fantasy and political intrigue. Dayne Heldrin always dreamed of being a member of the Tarian Order.

In centuries past, the Elite Orders of Druthal were warriors that stood for order, justice, and the common people. But now there is little need for such organizations, and the Tarian Order is one of the last remnants of this ancient legacy.

Nevertheless, Dayne trained his body and mind, learning the arts of defense and fighting, to become a candidate for the Tarian Order. A failed rescue puts Dayne at odds with a powerful family and his future with the Tarians is in jeopardy.

He returns to the capital city of Maradaine in shame, ready to be cast out of the Order. Dayne finds Maradaine in turmoil, as revolutions and dark conspiracies brew around him, threatening members of Parliament and common people alike.

Dayne is drawn into the uproar, but the Order wants him to stay out of the situation. The city threatens to tear itself apart, and Dayne must decide between his future and his vow to always stand between the helpless and harm.
