"There is not a nation at war abroad that is not at war within." In
the marshes of the east, there dwell the Qarkilcha, a proud race of
beasts who have maintained relative peace with the humans in the
west. But in their hearts, they yearn to reclaim the lands that
were once theirs. When a headstrong rebel stages a coup against
their beneficent leader, he sows the seeds of an invasion. The
humans are a divided people, where even a common enemy cannot
cultivate unity. Cities fall, the legions crumble, and the
Qarkilcha make their glorious march to victory. Only one city
stands in their path: Pelladis, the greatest stronghold in the
known world. Yet within the thick outer wall brews a conflict
between two leaders: a pragmatic general and a mysterious knight
without a name. As the drums of war draw near, the general seeks to
discover the secret behind the knight and whether he will betray
them when the fight reaches their threshold. Hope is fading and the
reality of destruction is upon them. Who will deliver the people
when the clouds of doom are overhead? Or is the fall of mankind all
but assured? The first part of The Pyromachia saga, STRONGHOLD
blends history and fantasy in a grandiose story of war, betrayal,
loss and redemption. Beneath the great wall of Pelladis, the course
of history shall be written with fire, steel and blood.
