The Hatchling Man - Book One: The Tower of the Swordthane by Kevin Hudson - Free

“It all started with a sword.” And so beings A Brief History of the Swordthane Wars – an old, worn and well-read book owned by Omerod Thorne, liegeman to Silverbane the night elf, Dark Knight and Paladin. Not that this mattered to young Tom Clovely, for he had never read a book in his life. And reading is perhaps the furthest thing from his mind in his chaotic and illicit daily life as an orphaned urchin of Valdos city. Until one theft too many changes his life utterly. Thrown into the company of the three Paladins of Ukko, Tom Clovely begins his journey to find The Hatchling Man, a man born of an egg, and man upon whom rests the fate of peace.
