Rinaldo and Bayard — Robin Brande

A short story companion to BOOK OF EARTH, Book 1 in the Bradamante Saga.

Rinaldo encounters a mysterious pilgrim while on the road to Abincort -- a man with a dark past and a plan for redemption that could change Rinaldo's life forever.

Once in Abincort, Rinaldo strives for his place in the king's army. A sparring session in front of Lord Ganelon reveals much about the king's high commander -- but also shows Rinaldo he might not understand everything about his own horse.
