Flame in the Sails. Book 1. Volume 1

A young village hunter of northern blood and imperial upbringing, clever, inquisitive, and eager for knowledge, sneaks one night into a place he shouldn't have, becoming a witness to a secret conspiracy of nobles, the meeting of whom it would be better for no one to know about. Foreseeing imminent retribution, the young man flees, but while covering his tracks and glancing back every second, he doesn't even notice how he steps onto the path of even greater conspiracies and misfortunes.
