Mystic Knight

Unforgotten (The Mystic Knight, Book 4)

By: Ryan Jackson

Narrated by: Robin Shay, Allen Ryder

Aldric and his bonds completed their third year at the Academy, though it didn't go exactly as planned. They uncovered an insidious plot happening right below the Academy itself. There they found women taken from their villages for forced bonding, as well as mages who were being tortured and experimented on. They put an end to the evil deeds and stopped the one in charge, their old foe Torg Frosthammer. Nadia was able to exact her revenge on the dwarf and get a semblance of closure.

However, after Torg was defeated a mysterious man appeared and told Aldric he was the one behind Torg and Giles. They briefly fought, and while Aldric was able to hurt the man, much worse was done to Aldric. The man unleashed a spell on Ember, almost killing her. With the distraction, and the arrival of the Imperial Grand Magus, the man escaped. Aldric put all of his mana and his soul into healing Ember's wound, which worked but came at a cost to himself.

When everything was said and done, Aldric and Ember bonded, leaving Aldric with only one bond left to fill.

As they enter their fourth, and final year, at the Academy Aldric and his bonds are looking forward to finding the final bond, and hopefully having a relaxing year before their fifteen years of military service begin.
