Desperate Flight — Gail Z. Martin

With royal guards and a burning village behind him, Jonmarc Vahanian flees for his life into the forest against the warnings of far-seers. Home and freedom are just across the river, but fate may conspire to send him in another, deadly direction to meet his destiny.

Soldier. Fight slave. Smuggler. Warrior. Brigand lord. If you've met Jonmarc Vahanian in the Chronicles of the Necromancer and Fallen Kings Cycle books, you don't really know him until you take his journey.
