The World Runs on My Word

Frank Stroud, once the fearsome leader of Drakefang, now lives quietly as a street vendor in Jendry. On the eve of his son's wedding, he hurries home to help with the preparations, refusing every invitation from his former subordinates. But instead of a warm welcome, he is humiliated and cast out of the house. Just as despair threatens to consume him, fate intervenes—he rescues Nessa Lohan, only to discover she is his long-lost daughter.
