About this audiobook

Now betrayed by the Emperor he once protected, master swordsman Saukendar leaves the way of the sword behind him forever-so he thinks. When a headstrong peasant girl burning to avenge her murdered family demands that he train her, Saukendar is faced with a momentous choice. Send Taizu away, never see her again-or join her and destroy the tyrant who has nearly destroyed them both.
