Being smaller than his six brutish half-brothers, he learned to survive by using his wits and his gift for strategy, earning him the nickname the Crow. ![]() Sir Christian Brandon was raised in a household where he was hated for his unusual beauty and for his parentage. In medieval England, duty is everything, personal honor is more valued than life itself, and homosexuality is not tolerated by the church or society. PUBLISHER: Pinkerton Road (Self-published) ![]()
