Book description
"The child must leave ... immediately ... take the sword ... to
the Keepers ... there's a diamond coming..."
A murdered man's last words, a four-bladed dagger set with a huge

freedom. To save his Kingdom, to prevent the Reverend from usurping
his power, he must find two things: the child he gave up so many years
ago, and the First Sword...
