Summary:
"Yield," Damen said. "Yield, or stay here and watch me die on your steel." Four years after Marlas, Damianos and Laurent return to the battlefield. When Damen intervenes to save a child's life at a feast, he gives the Veretian court the pretext for war. To hold the alliance together, a trial by combat is called, and Laurent demands the blade.
