Noble Slayer — Michael O'Gara

Out of a desperate act to survive, the warrior Mog snatches victory out of defeat for his liege lord. His ruler rewards him with title and an estate in conquered lands. It falls to Mog to take possession of his lands and to pacify the inhabitants. All Mog wants is a place for he and his men to settle in peace. Instead, he gets intrigue, challenges to his rule, invasion, and a growing sphere of influence as he triumphs over his enemies. It seems Mog, as Lord Mogdelin, is destined to become a ruler of renown in his own right.
