There was another adventure waiting for the Keeper of the sword. It would be one that would determine if he was indeed the Keeper of the sword, or if another had the right to claim that noble title. He would have to prove himself to the sword and to find out about the cowardice of his grandfathers. He wanted to get back to his friend Alissa, but if he did not succeed before the sword lost it's power, he might forever be trapped in the past or find a white feather in his future. A new battle was waiting for him, one that would prove not all family trees are filled with brave and worthy people. Once again he would make new friends and several enemies, but that is what came with the sword. It didn't matter that he was young, it was the heart of a warrior that kept him going in his adventures. The battle that awaited him was one he was not quite prepared to fight. The sword maker was an enemy of the sword as much as an enemy to his own son. It would be up to Jacob to set things right at any cost. He would wonder if that cost would be his life, his home, or the friendships he made along the way. In the end he would know everything.
