About the Book
A novella.
How did Asho end up as Lord Kyferin's squire?
Escape from Bythos leads seamlessly into the novel The Path of Flames (sample chapters included at back of this novella), detailing how Asho acquired his freedom against all odds and escaped the slave city of Bythos.
All Ennoian knights must sacrifice a single year of their lives to garrison the subterranean city of Bythos. Known as their Black Year, it is a
time both loathed and dreaded. Lord Kyferin, the infamous leader of the
Black Wolves, is down in the depths with six of his knights. Biding his
time. Whoring. Dreaming of bloody invasions he'll launch when he is free to return to Ennoia.
Then a Bythian slave brings word of
dangerous prey. A legendary monster. A cavekiller. Kyferin chooses to
mount a hunt, taking a fraction of the men needed so as to increase his
glory. This cavekiller, however, is different. More lethal. Ferocious.
And the Bythian slave that Kyferin brings as a guide is none other than
Asho's father...
