A Thousand Wounds: Book II of The Sword of Bayne (The Ursian Chronicles)

Bayne kul Kanon has passed the mountain, but now the wandering warrior finds another world opening before him. Odd lands, odd people and the oddest of rules and beliefs confront him. It is a world seemingly run by a madman, yet it might hold truths about the secrets of Bayne's past, present and possibly even his future. Facing new oddities in strangely-garbed forest bandits, soldiers and guards with unusual weapons, and even a precocious child, Bayne never halts in his quest for truth. And his quest for a woman who might hold the key to his far past, a history of which he has had no recollection. But once he discovers the truth, will it be more than he can handle? Will it be more than he bargained for? For with knowledge of his past comes pain. Old pains and new, fresh pains. A thousand wounds of pain.
