Summary:

Ever long has young nobleman Rolf Buckmann dreamt of knighthood, losing himself in stories of endless errantry and grand gallantry. But that dream seemed ever a dream when his life came crashing down—upon the rite of the Roun of Orisons, Rolf was met with silence from all-goddess Yoná, Most Divine, and thus spurned of Her gift of odyl: the spring of magick strength, to all of whom heretofore were graced.

Branded as an aberration and heretic both, Rolf leaves his scornful family and embarks on a tortured path to knighthood, along with Emilie Mernesse, his beloved and now formerly betrothed. Together, they navigate a society mired in cruelty and contradiction, and find themselves faced with dilemmas that threaten to upturn their lives forevermore.

Updates

• 2023.3.13: Slight terminology change in various parts (the territory of Norden is now a “marquisate” instead of a “march”; the territory of Ström is now a “margravate” and also a “march”. To be sure, Ström is a [border] province, a march, and a margravate all at once, in ascending order of specificity).
