The Fated Swordsman

Elias Rowan has spent his life keeping his younger brothers and sister alive. When the levy calls, he answers—not for glory or loyalty, but for the silver his family desperately needs. He expects hunger, hard marches, and perhaps an anonymous death beneath a foreign sky. Instead, Elias survives a battle he should not have—his sword turning certain defeat into victory—and discovers that fate has far greater plans for him than returning home with a soldier’s pay. Now, caught between nobles, armies, and powers he barely understands, Elias must become more than the dutiful brother who marched away from home. Because surviving the war may be the only way to save his family. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Fated Swordsman — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
