Wereblood

This is pretty decent, and actually part of a continuing story, as opposed to a stand alone series adventure, it appears. Gerin the Fox is a border baron, and an intelligent educated man that didn't particularly want to be a warrior, but ended up in the role due to deaths of others. He is dealing with a possible war against a crazy sorcerer, and travels to a gathering of local lords to see one chosen to be the husband of the host's daughter. She is not so keen on the idea and makes Gerin honour a promise he made to her as a kid to help her, and she sneaks out of the place with him, and off they go, with his large stalwart warrior friend of mysterious origin.
