Before he became the greatest knight in Winterhaven, Willem, the future Lord Tavistock was a seventeen-year-old half-orphan determined to claim his father's patrimony. The only thing standing in his way was every greedy and faithless man in the honor. The only support he could find was his two teachers, his naked sword, and a pair of steel gray eyes. This is the story of how Willem set out on the road to become the most respected man in the Duchy of Winterhaven.

This volume contains the books: Steel Gray Eyes, Dark Treacherous Hearts, and Crimson Steel Blades.
