The Errantry of Bantam Flyn (Autumn's Fall Saga Book 2)

Bantam Flyn, a hot-headed squire and wielder of the sword Coalspur, aspires to join the Knights of the Valiant Spur, an elite order that accepts only the most resolute. When he returns to the order's ancestral stronghold, he discovers the castle under siege from within by malevolent skin-changers searching for a changeling Flyn is determined to protect. Flyn embarks on a quest to keep Pocket's location secret. Accompanied by Deglan Loamtoes, a gnome herbalist with an acerbic wit, and Ingelbert Crane, a brilliant but awkward companion, Flyn ventures into the harsh cold of the island of Middangeard. There, the trio encounters historical forces that shaped their world. Facing giants, trolls, berserkers, restless dead, and phantoms from his own barbaric past, Flyn must confront an ancient horror that threatens not only his life but the fate of his entire race.
