But when his father sells him into slavery and tells him he is truly the Chieftain's son, Jharst is determined to find his real parents. Now, its up to Jharst and his friends, Benjamin, Svneious and Merryal to uncover his past. But enemies lurk around the corner. The Jarls of Himbon Town are ready to attack, and the country of England are going to aid them. Will Jharst be able to save his hometown? Or will the Jarls destroy it forever? And how can he do it, if he hasn't even met his father? Jharst has a feeling that something incredible is going to happen; something that could make him a hero for eternity, or kill him.
