The Edge of Nobility

Dawn of an Andalusian Legacy

By: William Jack Stephens

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Ramon was a young man with secrets, and a talent for violence.

Born into Spanish nobility, his full given name was Ramon Banu Lasso de la Vega, and as a boy, he dreamed of a life of purpose and acceptance. He dreamed of a peaceful life of family and belonging.

It was a dream that would never be fulfilled.

The Edge of Nobility is a gritty historical novel that will carry you away to the landscapes of France and Spain in the early 1900s, as Europe became embroiled in World War 1. It was a time when two breeds of men emerged. One that came forward to serve their fellow countrymen as a patriot and a hero; and the others, adventure-seeking young men looking for a fight and wanting to test their mettle in raging battle.

This riveting tale is brought to life with the author’s famously descriptive tone. Scenes are intricately painted with an unforgettable cast of characters: the young and beautiful, the innocent, the dangerous, and the corrupt and ambitious. All of the forces that shaped the fabric of Ramon’s future. It will expose the gap between the wealthy and poor, and the destructive forces that reshaped Europe and the future of all.

His Legion commanders used Ramon to rewrite the rules of war and outcomes of battle, and in doing so, rendered the boy’s soul to waste. They unleashed his talent for killing, and along with it, a monster that could never again be contained. War and loss exposed the true nature of what simmered below his gentle surface, and everyone who thought they could control him would pay the ultimate price.

When the war ends and Ramon finally makes his way home to Spain an even darker revelation awaits, and family secrets will be laid bare. His future will unfold in an explosive ending, as the forces of love, hatred, and friendship, find an unexpected avenue through the streets of Cordoba and Seville that point him toward his destiny.

More than a tale of war and murder, The Edge of Nobility is an intricately woven story of Spanish and French history, portraying the hardships endured by soldiers and civilians alike in the midst of a global conflict, and the uncertainties of returning to a meaningful life when the horror ends. There are captivating moments of bravery, heroism, betrayal, and the ultimate loss of innocence.

If you loved Andalusian Legacy and Where The Green Star Falls, this is where the legend begins. The dark tale of Ramon Banu Lasso de la Vega, and all of the lives that were shaped by his hand.
