More Description

William Eldin, the king's nephew, second in line to the throne, holds the position Lieutenant of the Guard. He is a 15-year old lad, whose military experience is limited. His mundane daily regimen consists of security of the castle, academic study of military campaigns, weapons training and drill. He is a somewhat spoiled and arrogant boy, whose charming looks and family position made him popular with the "Ladies of the Court." His power arises from his rank and nepotism rather than from his personality and leadership skills. William fancies himself a warrior and professional soldier, whose duty is to protect the King and Royal family. The soldiers of the castle regard him as an immature want-to-be, and tolerate him out of respect for their king. William is sent on a mission by the king with the purpose and destination unknown to him. He must now place his trust in the hands of strangers that show little regard for his noble stature.
