Wings of the Fallen by Richard Fierce

One rider's courage will decide the fate of the kingdom.

Matthias Baines has always dreamed of proving his worth on the battlefield. When the False King, a ruthless usurper, seizes the Midian throne through treachery, Matthia's aspirations are put to the ultimate test.

He's given a task: cross the border and gather information on the enemy's plans.

The path is fraught with danger, and as he navigates cunning traps, mind-bending trials, and his own fears, he discovers that victory demands more than strength—it requires sacrifice.
