"He had acquired a reputation in this part of Koretia, early on, of being more wild, more daring, more of a trickster than any other boy, save his blood brother, his co-conspirator in all mischief and pranks. When had that wild boy died?"
He was a loyal servant of the god. But even loyal servants have their limits.
When Griffith is cast into the role of leading a deadly blood feud against a rival village, he must decide how strong his faith is in the religion that decrees such feuds must occur. Griffith has always been a prankster . . . but can he trick his way out of this dilemma?
This short story of feuds, friendships, and gods can be read on its own or as a side story of the Law Links volume in The Three Lands, a fantasy series on friendship, romance, and betrayal in times of war and peace.
The Three Lands is part of Chronicles of the Great Peninsula, a cycle of mythic historical fantasy series about a battle between cultures. Chronicles of the Great Peninsula is set at a time when a centuries-old civilization is in danger of being destroyed. The cycle is inspired by conflicts between cultures during the Arthurian Era.
