Defiant

An ancient adversary in the east seeks to invade Ordefima and claim the treasures it holds.
When his beloved sister is captured, Rupert, the youngest son of the ruling family, is sent to save her. As the power of the enemy increases, can he overcome personal tragedy, emotional entanglements, and lost allegiances to emerge as the hero? Or will subversive forces and increasing austerity inspire the people to rebel against him? War with an ever-threatening enemy seems unavoidable.
