One guild. A grand conspiracy. Three painful choices.
Isaac Heathe would rather save the world than spend time with his family. They want him on the farm, while he wants to be an adventurer... and for Isaac, it's easier to face an apocalypse than his disappointed parents. And yet - despite his best attempts to keep his lives separate - the arrival of an unexpected recruit forces Isaac's worlds to collide. In the midst of tar-stained monsters, deadly conspiracies, and a hidden plot to tear the guild apart, Isaac finds himself struggling to choose between the legacy waiting for him on the family farm and the life he's built as the Commander of Honour's Stand.
Neva Oyii sees the future, but she cannot escape her past. Her legacy brings her pride and power - but who is she without it? How does one leave the past behind when it refuses to leave the future alone? Death is a familiar friend, but something new haunts her - and as her power to see the future dwindles, she may be forced to look back at the past.
Jegrac is watching his people die. The legacies of Nomads everywhere are in grave danger. Except choosing to act may do more harm than help, and Jegrac is growing tired of making safe choices - how long can he watch his people suffer? Will his actions save his people or pointlessly endanger his friends and guildmates? When deciding between helping strangers or protecting your friends, is there ever a right choice?
At the core of this epic fantasy is a story about the daunting weight of expectations and assumptions, the tough choice between staying safe and doing what is right, and legacy - the family we come from, the family we choose, and how your past shapes your future. Brimming with strong, emotional beats, humourous band-of-misfits shenanigans, and a chosen family that - despite petty arguments - deeply cares about each other, Honour's Stand: Legacy is the perfect book for fantasy lovers that enjoy character-driven stories with grounded, realistic conflicts in a magical, mythical setting.
With universal themes on growing up, leaving home, and making tough choices, Honour's Stand: Legacy is suitable for all ages, and will resonate strongly with young and new adults.
