Jamie: The Blood of Betrayal (Tales of the Executioners)

Short story.

Wounded in battle, Jamie crawls home, desperate to see his wife and family again. When he wakes miraculously healed, he's bombarded with one horrible revelation after another. His wife is dead, and his father hung as a traitor. But how is it that his sister and brother-in-law were spared? Is their story true, or did his brother-in-law speed them to the grave to get his hand on the title? And what does the mysterious Eagan - who now claims to be their master - have to do with it?

Jamie's origin story can be read as a standalone.
