Flight from Blithmore — Jacob Gowans

Henry Vestin is neither a fearless adventurer nor a daring swordsman, he's a master carpenter who only wants to marry Isabelle Oslan. Isabelle's father, however, will stop at nothing to prevent their marriage. When her father's plotting attracts the interest of a king and an emperor, Henry mounts a heroic rescue which makes himself, Isabelle, and their friends the most wanted criminals in the land of Blithmore. Embarking on a daunting journey to flee his country and escape execution, Henry discovers he must become more than a carpenter. He must learn to lead when friendships are tested, to have strength when spirits are broken, and to press onward when he has nothing left but love. FLIGHT FROM BLITHMORE is the first volume of THE STORYTELLER'S TALE, an epic adventure series about bravery and cowardice, loyalty and betrayal, escapes, battles, and lots of mayhem.
