"Ride straight and swift from the Kimar Gate. Rest by the Koongat Bridge and at the Bar of Balmud. Ride for the sake of the women and children and for your own honor! Ride like a Cumner, lad!"
Only hours before, the young son of Colonel Cumner had one of those experiences that changes an eighteen-year-old boy to a man -- and now the promise of death was hanging over his head, here in Mandakan. The Dakoon, the ruler who sat guarded by four sacred warriors, was dying -- and the one whom all called Cumner's Son was now on a mission to an outlaw, to seek aid for the British outpost in a time when the present calm was threatening to shatter.
