Swords and Stars

'I pledge my sword and my shield until I am discharged by death.'

An orphan, alone, falsely accused and fleeing for his life, a boy with black skin in a world of white, he is handed an opportunity: an opportunity to become more than he ever could have imagined. The boy becomes a man, the apprentice becomes a warrior, the soldier becomes a hero.

Swords and Stars brings the reader deathly peril, stirring comradeship, love, war, death and danger as well as exploring the hostility suffered by minorities in any world.

An exciting piece of epic fantasy, the first of a two-part saga, 'The Walker', and the opening episode in the Heart, Mind and Honour series by novelist Peter Sawyer whose work has already been described as 'very emotive' and 'very readable'
