Dan Frost, the natural born son of Edward Winterchild lived all his life in Strong Fort, before enlisting in Frontier guard at fourteen. His father and sisters left for Gold land, at the invitation of King Beor Hawthorn.
King Beor was a man immersed in alcohol and women, yet, he had a great presence. He did not have even the shadow of a great warrior his father spoke of, yet, he had the charm of a bear stumbling around all over.
Dan knew why his father left.
His father thought his friend devolved from the time they fought together. King of the mountain kingdom died of a fast fever in the capital of summerland.
Argon Rushing was a kindly old man in very good health before he died. His father suspected foul play, thus, he went to the capital of summerland to investigate it by himself. This also served as a coming of age trial for Raul, Dan knew.
