TO RIDE HELL'S CHASM by JANNY WURTS
|
SummaryWhen Princess Anja fails to appear at her betrothal
banquet, the tiny, peaceful kingdom of Sessalie is plunged
into intrigue. Two warriors are charged with recovering the
distraught king's beloved daughter. Taskin, Commander of
the Royal Guard, whose icy competence and impressive life-
term as the Crown's right-hand man command the kingdom's
deep-seated respect; and Mykkael, the rough-hewn newcomer
who has won the post of Captain of the Garrison—a scarred
veteran with a deadly record of field warfare,
whose 'interesting' background and foreign breeding are
held in contempt by court society. As the princess's trail
vanishes outside the citadel's gates, anxiety and tension
escalate. Mykkael's investigations lead him to a radical
explanation for the mystery, but he finds himself under
suspicion from the court factions. Will Commander Taskin's
famous fair-mindedness be enough to unravel the truth
behind the garrison captain's dramatic theory: that the
resourceful, high-spirited princess was not taken by force,
but fled the palace to escape a demonic evil?
