Today’s excerpt is drawn from Rise of the Corsair, and features a peak into the mind of a young Daniel Baccan whence he meets Damian Dannars for the first time. In this fated meeting, Daniel has just shared the tale of when he was stripped of lordship and cast out of his home, but not without a mandate from the Lion Throne.

The third excerpt for Prelude to Darkness will be made available this Friday, and it will be drawn from the third serialized story in the series, Rise of the Corsair.
