The Raptor of the Highlands

Captured but still defiant, Thomas Kestrel stands fearlessly against the evil trying to break him. Stronger than magic or steel – he brings hope to a forgotten people.

Forced into the mines, he becomes a slave, a prisoner of the High King’s regent. Rather than accepting the hard death that awaits him, he resists, instilling an energy in the Highlanders imprisoned with him for the first time since the fall of the Crag.

But Thomas realizes that surviving the mines isn’t enough. He needs to free his people. Yet even if he can get them out of the Black Hole, can he keep them from the blades of the reivers? Either the legend of the Raptor of the Highlands will take flight, or it will die with him in the mines.
