Paksenarrion epub

Book One: Paks is trained as a mercenary, blooded, and introduced to the life of a soldier. Book Three: Paks the warrior must learn to live with Paks the human. She undertakes a holy quest for a lost elven prince that brings the gods' wrath down on her and tests her very limits. Paksenarrion Dorthansdotter may be the daughter of a humble sheep farmer in the far north end of the kingdom, but she dreams of so much more. But life in the army is different than she imagined, and her daydreams at first seem to be turning to nightmares.

But Paks refuses to let her dreams die—and does her duty with honor and integrity. Her path is an arduous one, but it will transform her into a hero remembered in songs, chosen by the gods to restore a lost ruler to his throne.

Never could she have followed her father's orders and married the pig farmer down the road. Better a soldier's life than a pig farmer's wife, and so, though she knew that she could never go home again, Paks ran away to be a soldier. And so began an adventure destined to transform a simple Sheepfarmer's Daughter into a hero fit to be chosen by the gods.

Over all the lands, north and south, an unusual drought begins what may be the same doom that fell upon Old Aare, turning a once green and fertile land into a desert of rock and sand. Who will survive these crises, and what sacrifices will be demanded? Paksenarrion Paksenarrion Dorthansdotter, headstrong daughter of a sheep farmer on the north edge of the kingdom, dreams of being a hero out of legend, of fame and magic swords and great deeds.

When her father tells her she must marry the neighbor's son, she runs away from home to join the mercenary company her cousin told her about. But military life and warfare aren't anything like her daydreams In the end, she pays the price that heroism demands and becomes the paladin who saves a kingdom She has to confront and overcome her strengths as well as her weaknesses Originally written as one long story, it was broken into three for practical reasons when first published.

Sheepfarmer's Daughter takes her from the farm through three fighting seasons as a mercenary in Duke Phelan's Company. Divided Allegiance describes her departure from Phelan and her training to become a paladin of Gird Oath of Gold finishes her story of recovery and redemption.

Poverty, hunger, fear, and anger shaped this future leader, whose weakness for drink almost ended his cause--and his life. But his love for "his" people and his innate hunger for justice make him worthy of the legends.

Two books, Surrender None and Liar's Oath , chronicle the life of the founder of the Fellowship of Gird--the dominant religion in Tsaia and Fintha in Paksenarrion's day, and the early days of that fellowship.

Surrender None The hero-saint Gird, patron of the Fellowship of Gird, was known only through scattered texts and traditions by Paksenarrion's day. In those stories, Gird was an honest, brave, kind, hardworking peasant who had stood up to cruel magelords and freed his people from oppression. He had written the Code of Gird, eliminating injustice, and had given up his life for his people by fighting off a magical monster, dying even as it died.

The real Gird was indeed a peasant who led his people to freedom from oppression--but he was also a fallible and complicated man whose great virtues were paired with great weaknesses.

Liar's Oath During the war, Gird took in a refugee who soon became known as "Gird's luap" luap being the word for assistant, or an army officer who was not in the chain of command.

Luap, as he was finally called, was in fact the bastard son of a former king. Though he had been cast aside when his father sired a legitimate heir, Luap believed that he had inherited the ability to rule But his essential dishonesty, his inability to face the truth about himself, doomed him and his followers, and set the Fellowship of Gird on a path very different from that Gird would have chosen.
