A reluctant mercenary, a cunning hostage, and a long, hazardous journeyIn 11th-century Iberia, political turmoil and violent conflict roil the land. A young Sisnando Davides, once the future Lord of Coimbra, now scrapes by as a glorified sword-for-hire. With an eye towards regaining his family's lands and title, he accepts the seemingly straightforward job of escorting a political hostage, Remir ibn Rahman, from Salamanca to Seville.
Soon, the simple task detours into the complicated and perilous. Davides must choose between his allegiances and his conscience, between his family and his friendships, between winning back his noble status and losing everything forever.Gritty, tense, and reflective, A Mercenary's Pilgrimage is the first book in L. J. Nowak's Medieval Iberia Adventure series.Originally published as a standalone in 2016, the 2026 edition includes new cover art, an afterword about the historical figure of Sisnando Davides, a glossary of Spanish and Arabic words, and more ebook friendly features.
