Raven's Sword - Darklands: The Raven's Calling, #1

An Iron Age Fantasy with heart. You once told me a man has nothing to live for unless he has something to die for. You're wrong. A man has something to live for when he has something to fight for. Tergal, a lad from the legions, is the only survivor when his troop is set upon by Darklander villagers. Rescued from death by Ambial - a girl of a mysterious race called Vaerlings - he finds his destiny, his life and his love inextricably tangled with his rescuers.
There is a purpose for his survival. But who decides this purpose, who decides this fate? Is it one or all of the five fates? Is it the mysterious stranger? Is it the woman he loves? Or is there something more sinister, and his survival merely a temporary reprieve?_____So you know, there's some swearing, some violence and some reference to sex. It's not "Game of Thrones" level, but it's there. It's not graphic and it has to do with the story.
