Bonds of Honour
Captain Jared Mason liked the fact that his home city of Elgarost was peaceful. He enjoyed a life built on routine; quiet, disciplined, and orderly. All that changed when the foreign trade delegation rolled into town.
Minor disagreements blossomed into larger conflicts that culminated in violence. Then, the delegation organiser, Count Lorenzo Mantiri, is attacked, and hasn't been heard from since.
As if things weren't hectic enough. The missing Count's beautiful sister arrives at the Captain's door demanding answers, and he knows that his life is about to get a whole lot more interesting.
