description: In this second book in the Dragonslayer series, the kingdom is being burnt town by town, the castle is under siege and children are being made into slaves. Axel is called back to the castle by the king to help in the defense of the kingdom from an invasion by blue-painted barbarians. He must choose between peace and war, killing and nonviolence, duty and desire, and so is torn between the peace of the valley, where he farms with his wife and son, and his duty to the king. Watch this gentle father and farmer as he struggles to fulfill his duty and still keep to his values.Front cover by Matt Payovich
