The honor of serving Vaka Aster had much appeal when I took my oath and was ordained into the Knights Corporealis. Since then, the War of Rivening has split the one kingdom into three, and the peoples of Ivoryss, Yor and Dyrrakium have fought each other, made their truces, and fallen into treachery and fighting again and again. And Vaka Aster seems to have forsaken us.
My faith in this fight has begun to fail . . .
My daughter yearns to be the next generation to follow in the Order of the Knights Corporealis, to swear her own oath to our Verity Vaka Aster. This is what she thinks she wants, and what she was born to do. Such a thought would have once filled her mother and me with pride, but after so long, I know better than to wish this life, this curse, on her too.
And now we hear the rumors from Yor of a usurper calling himself His Holiness—another Verity, here in Vinnr to challenge the dominion of Vaka Aster. Though I wish to be free of this duty to serve my maker, I, and my cadre of Knights, may once again be asked to face danger and death to preserve this realm.
But for what?
In our Great Cosmos, the five celestial creators show their creations no loyalty, or mercy . . .
So what loyalty do I owe them?
Follow Ulfric Aldinhuus and the Knights Corporealis in their quest to save the realm of Vinnr, and the entirety of the Cosmos, in the new fantasy series The Shackled Verities.”
