Can the King's Hound of Justice, Sir Kelvrin of Alymes, help Lady Beth, the only surviving member of North Watch Keep and reclaim North Watch from Lord Geoffry of Gwen Myer before it is too late? (Novella)

North Watch Keep is famous for its orchards and the family connections to the fey. Suspicious, the King of Fairhaven sends his Hound of Justice, Sir Kelvrin of Alymes, to North Watch when he had not heard from his cousins for months. Kelvrin goes to the Keep undercover as a soldier for hire, and discovers the family has been murdered. The Keep is now occupied by Lord Geoffry of Gwen Myer whose men are hunting the villagers for sport. Only emotionally scarred Lady Beth remains of the family, eking out her existence as the village healer. Then Lord Geoffry's men try to kill Sir Kelvrin when they realize they cannot buy his loyalty away from the king.
