Hidden Lance: Whisper in the Wind
Genre: Fantasy Fiction
"For Yonz Aerup, warrior in training, life was simple: trudge through classes, play a few tricks, and generally have a good time before graduating into the Royal Army of the Illatzulian King. However, this illusion of peace is deftly shattered when a bandit clan attacks his school and steals a vital artifact of the Kingdom. The peacemaker that ended the last continental war, the object that ensured the balance of power between the kingdoms, is now torn from the hands of Illatzul, thrusting it into an unknown future.
Wary of war, the King of Illatzul decides to send student ambassadors to occupy the eyes of the other kingdoms whilst he would desperately try to relocate and retrieve their key of survival. Though ignorant of the world, Yonz Aerup is sent to a foreign nation, where he must learn to cope with his new surroundings and emerge from being a pampered child of peace. Through events that rob him of his childish innocence, Yonz must learn to change himself if he wants to survive.
He must learn that nothing is as it seems. No one is who they seem to be.
Luckily for him, a winged guardian watches his path carefully."
