The Knight Born Saga Book 1

At 8 years old, Maelor watched his village burn and his parents die at the hands of a Shadow Knight. Ten years later, he's a trainee at the Citadel of Solmara — consumed by rage, fighting a system that says Knights can never have families, never go home, never be normal again. But when the Shadow Knight who destroyed his life resurfaces, Maelor breaks every rule to make him pay… and becomes the first mortal in a hundreds years to kill a Shadow Knight. This is the beginning of a legend.
