Book 1 of the Kestrel Harper Saga

White Pawn

by Tamara Brigham

Kavan wants the peaceful life of a harper but prophecy thwarts intervenes. His path is altered when he meets Prince Arlan. Kavan's quest for acceptance and peace entwines with politics and Faith. Not even prophecy can guarantee his fate.

About The Book

Elyri. ágdháni. Miracle worker. Saint. Outcast. All that Kavan ever wanted was to be a normal man, the bard he has trained his entire life to be. But prophecy has a bad habit of thwarting the best plans and intentions. From the moment he meets Arlan, the infant prince of Enesfel, the path Kavan imagined for himself is overthrown by forces beyond his control. When Owain Lachlan, a man of dubious heritage, assumes the mantle of king, it falls upon Kavan’s shoulders to guide and aid the inexperienced Prince Arlan in claiming the throne that is his birthright. Kavan’s personal quest for acceptance, from others and from himself, becomes entwined with threads of politics and Faith, and not even prophecy can guarantee what fate awaits him.

Unsatisfied with ‘how the story ends’ as a young reader, Tamara took on the challenge of crafting endings to the tales of others to better suit her vision of the world. That desire to mold reality into how she imagined it should be gave birth to a lifelong fascination with the written word, and its capacity, particularly through realms of fantasy and science fiction, to foster an understanding of the people, events, thoughts, and emotions that make us who we are. A long-time resident of Clearlake, California, after a life that took her back and forth across the country, Tamara is owned by a pack of papillons, a pride of cats, and an eclectic arsenal of films she enjoys in her off-moments.
