How is a warrior to live his life, once all the wars are done? Uppsala Province, Sweden, 1720: Magnus von Lindeborg, soldier, commander, champion; grandson of Jack Fiskardo's youthful high-born ensign, Karl-Christian von Lindeborg; a man of wealth, nobility, renown - - and a battered spirit, and a lonely heart. A man who finds himself without a place in the country of his birth, and without purpose to his life; a man who sees himself fading into nothingness much like the ghostly painted warriors upon his castle's walls. But Fate has other ideas . . . A wonderful tale of love and the power of human redemption, and a compelling treat for fans of The Silver Wolf and The Dead Men.
