The Dame

The vast road network of Honce completed a decade before had brought great optimism to the people of the land. Commerce could travel more freely and so could armies and those armies it was hoped would rid the land at long last of the vicious bloody cap dwarfs and goblins. For the first time the many individual kingdoms the holdings of Honce would be brought closer together perhaps even united. For the last few years those promises had become a nightmare to the folk as two powerful lairds fought for supremacy of a hoped-for united kingdom.Bransen Garibond the Highwayman held little real interest in that fight. To him the warring lairds were two sides of the same coin. Whichever side won the outcome for the people of Honce would be the same Bransen believed. A journey north however taught Bransen that his views were simplistic at best and that some things--like honor and true friendship-- might truly matter. In The Dame Bransen''s road becomes a quest for the truth of Honce and of himself a quest to put right over wrong. That path is fraught with confusion and fraud and a purposeful blurring of morality by those who would seek to use the Highwayman''s extraordinary battle skills and popularity among the commonfolk for their own nefarious ends.
