Vallon Steere is a man with everything to lose. Falsely accused of a crime he didn't commit, he's trapped in a prison cell with his once-promising future reduced to nothing more than a distant dream. But Vallon is not ready to give up just yet.

In a desperate bid to prove his innocence Vallon turns to the court clerk, hoping she'll believe his story. And what a story it is. From his privileged childhood as the son of a rural duke to his time in the King's Army, Vallon has led a life less straightforwardly noble than he'd like to admit. His quest for revenge and his search for a missing sister have taken him down a dark and dangerous path.

As Vallon lays bare his past, he's forced to confront some uncomfortable truths. He may not have committed the crime he's accused of, but his actions have consequences. And as war looms on the horizon, Vallon realizes that his past may be the key to securing his future.

A tautly written fantasy adventure full of unexpected twists and turns, Xan Kaplan's 'The Length of Years' is a gripping tale of one man's fight for justice. With its richly drawn characters and vividly realized setting, this is a story that will stay with you long after you've turned the final page.
