The Lost Kestrel Found

Thomas Kestrel has spent a decade as a captive in the Highlands, and now he is quietly planting the first seeds of revolt. The question facing his people is whether they still have the nerve and the resolve to win back their freedom and their land. The Lost Kestrel Found is the sixth volume of The Sylvan Chronicles, a sword and sorcery saga. Thomas leads the Marchers against the High King's reivers, and the Highlanders gradually come to trust him as he gathers their fighters.

The skirmishes they win are only a prelude. Thomas soon learns that driving the reivers out of his homeland will demand far more than these early fights. Meanwhile, the Shadow Lord extends his influence, certain of his coming rise to power while his allies keep carrying out his orders. The Princess of Fal Carrach also takes center stage, finding a new place at her father's court and discovering a magical power of her own.

The lives of these three characters will be changed for good. Thomas is working toward his claim to become Lord of the Highlands, but the cost of that ambition remains an open question. After years of hardship, the Marchers are finally ready to go to war.
