Eramus the Coward: Book one of the Eramus Pon novels - Vincent R. Hagman - Bog

Enter Eramus Pon, a vagabond who has spent the last five years earning a comfortable living with his sword, choosing safe jobs that won't bind him to lords or lands. When he stops in the Barony of Medar to visit a friend, a Blood Eagle knight named Sir Jacob forces Eramus to recover the baron's missing children. Along with his tracker partner and two of the knight's agents, Eramus sets off on a rescue mission fraught with peril, asking himself why Sir Jacob hand-picked him when so many soldiers were at his disposal. Little by little, Eramus is drawn deeper into a conspiracy of politics, religion, and magic which all connect to a past he has been running from for years. Will he find the courage to overcome his fears before more innocents die on the end of Sir Jacob's bloody sword?
