Synopsis:
"After a series of missions—some successful, others less so, and most
nearly getting everyone killed—the Guardians of the Galaxy are at a
breaking point when they crash-land on a strange planet. With no way to
repair their ship, the frustrated Guardians go their separate ways,
quickly discovering that the planet's inhabitants have never progressed
past a medieval stage of development. Quill finds himself a favored
member of a powerful duke's court (as well as a favorite of the duke's
daughter), and life seems just fine under the circumstances . . . until
the duchy comes under attack. When Quill reckons that their foe may be
what's keeping the planet's civilization from advancing, he realizes
that defeating it—with the Guardians' help—may be their only hope for
getting off of that world. . . If he can find his friends in time."

fervor of the Angel Prince, Aeros, toward the last unconquered kingdom
of Gul Kana. Yet Gault, one of the elite Knights Archaic of Sør Sevier,
is growing disillusioned by the crusade he is at the vanguard of just as
it embarks on his Lord Aeros’ greatest triumph.While the eldest son of the fallen king of Gul Kana now reigns in ever increasing paranoid isolationism, his two sisters seek their own paths. Jondralyn, the older sister, renowned for her beauty, only desires to prove her worth as a warrior, while Tala, the younger sister, has uncovered a secret that may not only destroy her family but the entire kingdom. Then there's Hawkwood, the assassin sent to kill Jondralyn who has instead fallen in love with her and trains her in his deadly art. All are led further into dangerous conspiracies within the court.
And hidden at the edge of Gul Kana is Nail, the orphan taken by the enigmatic Shawcroft to the remote whaling village of Gallows Haven, a young man who may hold the link to the salvation of the entire Five Isles."
