A young knight raised for war...
A wounded enemy left for dead...
And one act of mercy that could change two kingdoms forever... Kester has dreamed of becoming a knight all his life. Brave and eager to defend Banshire, he believes he understands what duty requires, especially when war with the neighboring kingdom of Aeria grows more dangerous by the day. But when his first great assignment leads him to the blood-soaked ruins of Fort Gabel, the glory of battle gives way to loss, fear, and a truth he never expected to face. Among the fallen, Kester discovers a wounded Aerian soldier who should be his enemy. Everything he has been taught tells him to walk away, or worse. But one small glimpse of the man's life beyond the battlefield forces Kester to make an impossible choice. To save the enemy, Kester must journey beyond the safety of everything he knows, carrying a secret that could make him a traitor in the eyes of his own people. Sometimes the bravest act is not lifting a sword, but lowering it. Step into the world of Kester's Act, a stirring fantasy tale of courage, sacrifice, and the power of compassion in a world divided by war. Can one knight's choice survive the hatred of two kingdoms, or will mercy cost him everything?
