The Runelords

A young Runelord, Prince Gaborn Val Orden of Mystarria, is traveling in disguise across the sunlit fall countryside of Sylvarresta, his only companion the warrior bodyguard Borenson. Gaborn is absorbing the beauty of the land and becoming acquainted with its people, preparing himself to ask for the hand of Princess Iome, heir to the throne of Sylvarresta. While stopping at a local tavern, Gaborn notices a pair of foreigners, powerful men who move with supernatural grace and strength - assassins. This moment of recognition brings an abrupt end to Gaborn's sheltered upbringing, launching him into the dangerous realm of politics and treachery. His pleasant journey becomes a perilous race to warn the King of deadly danger.
