About this ebook
BY THE AUTHOR OF THE DEED OF PAKSENARRION
Paksenarrion was the finest paladin her world would ever see. But Paksenarrion could never have become a fighter at all had it not been for he who had come before: Gird, the liberator, who taught his people that they could fight¾and win¾against their Mage-Born rulers.
And after Gird came one more: Luap, Gird's sworn follower and the king's half-breed bastard. Riven by internal conflict, Luap dare not lie and cannot tell the truth, nor face the future.
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
PRAISE FOR THE LEGACY OF GIRD
"A massive and brilliant book, with Moon's unsurpassed military and historical expertise very much to the fore. Close behind it is her concern with ethics, which ejevates her characterization as far above the fantasy average as her worldbuilding."
¾Chicago Sun-Times
"A detailed look into a fantasy medieval culture as seen from the peasants' point of view.... A wonderful prequel and lead into the author's trilogy, The Deed of Paksenarrion."
¾VOYA
"Fans of The Deed of Paksenarrion have been waiting for this book, but newcomers to Moon's vision should not fear jumping right in . . . I don't think you'll be disappointed."

A beautiful addition to the history of the world created by Elizabeth Moon for Gird's paladin--the shepherder's daughter--Paksenarrion.
