Warrior Knight by Paul J Bennett

“Excitement and battles all the way!” – Amazon Review
Win a tournament, find a wealthy patron, and be set for life—how hard can it be?
When mere bravado is not enough, the only option left to him is to join a mercenary group, sharpening his skills through death and destruction. But with enemies lurking amongst friends, forging a new identity as a warrior is fraught with danger.

As armies gather, the looming threat of conflict forces Ludwig to take up the mantle of leadership. Only then does he begin to understand the true cost of war. Will his willingness to sacrifice everything to save others be his downfall or his saving grace?
