The Stolen Prince (Blood For Blood Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
A thick layer of dirt shaped into a circle marked the dueling ring. Hakon waited on its outskirts to be called. He tried to ignore the throbbing in his thigh and the drum beats still aching in his head. It was time to focus. A man designated as the dueling master stepped forward.“Hakon. Bavol.”Hakon stepped forward into the ring and watched Bavol step forward opposite him.“Who is Hakon’s second?”“I am,” Skeet said behind him. He stepped up, carrying Hakon’s weapons.“Who is Bavol’s second?”“I am.” The young boy, Tadi, stepped forward. A few guardians stood in protest. He could be no older than twelve, and one who had not completed their survival was rarely allowed to fight in a duel of decision. Windfather looked confident, and no one could protest his choice.A second’s responsibility was to guard the duelist, to care for their weapons, and if they were to lose or die, it was their responsibility to avenge the dueler. The code was clear. That meant that if Hakon won against Bavol, he would have to fight Tadi as well.
