Commander of the Great King’s Cavalry as well as the
personal bodyguard of his ruler, Captain Starling approaches his duties with a
wry humour; however all is not well around him.
Once
close friends with Great King Eremmerus (and perhaps more), their relationship
has become strained owing to the Blood Lust Eremmerus has been suffering since
the end of the War of the Wastes. A peaceful man despite the world of violence
he has been thrust into, Starling battles with his Great King’s bloodthirsty
policies at every turn, whilst also protecting himself under the guise of
agreement. It is nothing more than his cunning intelligence and brief flickers
of past affection from Eremmerus that have saved him so far.
Insubordinate
to the extreme, often only appearing to follow orders, Captain Starling could
be viewed as a traitor. Conversely, he could also be seen as saving a great
many lives by opposing his Great King’s destructive plans, making him one of
the Final Resting Place of the Empire’s most loyal subjects.
But
as the politics surrounding him intensify, for how long can he keep both of his
allegiances safe?
