Sturm was an extremely honorable man. A very good character who died too early.
I really enjoyed these trilogies the best:
Legends Trilogy : Time of the Twins, War of the Twins, and Test of the Twins
Elven Nations Trilogy: Firstborn, The Kinslayer Wars, and The Qualinesti
I'm currently reading
Blades of the Tiger: The Taladas Chronicles- Volume One
