Mystery (Yes, My Liege: The Three Lands)

"Watching the hand fondle the sword-flat, with the blade's killing edge turned toward him, Prosper found himself doing battle with no less than three demon-fears."

Three days ago he faced death by fire. Now he faces a bigger challenge.

Made a priest at age thirteen and then elevated to the high rank of City Priest when he was twenty, Prosper has long held a position of tremendous power. But a terrible misstep causes him to break the God's Law which governs the Northern Peninsula. Now he is in exile from the God's Law: any man who meets Prosper is free to murder him.

A friend has sent Prosper to a protector . . . but can that protector shield Prosper, not only from potential killers, but from the consequences of the exiled priest's unacknowledged demons?

This novella (short novel) on a man's quest for salvation can be read on its own or as part of The Three Lands, a fantasy series on friendship, romance, and betrayal in times of war and peace. The series is inspired by conflicts between nations during the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages.
