Eighteen-year-old Gabriel Malnythe should be training for his inheritance as a warrior nobleman. Instead, he dreams of entering the clergy and devoting his life to philosophy. But fever takes the lives of his two brothers and Gabriel is pushed towards a decision he thought he could avoid. Should he accept his rightful place in the Elite Corps as one of Prince Justin's guards and advisors? Or can he find a way to escape what others see as his duty?
Each path demands a high price. If Gabriel refuses the Elite Corps, he may lose the Prince's trust. But if he joins the Elite Corps, he fears he will lose himself.

Sow the Wind is a prequel novella to an epic fantasy series I have been writing for twenty years. The series focuses on Gabriel, Justin, and Brandon, and introduces new characters and a sprawling world full of love, loyalty, and treachery. You know the saying that those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind? In the next book, Gabriel will find out just how true that saying is.
