Awaken the terrible dawn. Victory was not supposed to end in
tragedy, but nothing is without consequences. After his glorious
victory over the Cyclopes, the Nameless Knight learns the horrible
cost of his deeds. He has unleashed the most powerful enemy yet:
the Firewalkers. Armed with mythical power, their strength is
unmatched and their army is unstoppable. Led by the devious Madman,
they have returned with a single goal: the extermination of the
human race. Even in the face of desperation, the knight is
undeterred. When all hope is lost, he will not back down. Still, he
cannot fight alone. With the help of Makta, the Qarkilchan warrior
of virtue, Shimka, the just chieftain, and Hespion, general of the
legions, they are about to make their final stand for survival
against the immortal horde. The Pyromachia saga continues with THE
FIREWALKERS, wherein legends collide. The war for existence has
begun, and the storm clouds are massing. Who will stand victorious
as the ashes fall: the armies of vengeance or the warriors of hope?
"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.
The Autumn Is Darkening is a collection of short stories, poems and
vignettes that explore the mystery of the world before our eyes and
the haunting enchantment of life, death and beyond. Like the autumn
itself, the fragility of life is equaled by strength, love and
beauty. Leaves wither and fall, to be reborn. The sun yields the
darkness, only to dawn again. Life has its end, but not until it is
lived.
From the ashes of war, tyrants and heroes arise. The epic
Pyromachia saga continues with THE WARRIOR AND THE MADMAN, a blend
of fantasy and history following the Nameless Knight as he faces a
fierce political storm that threatens to drive the cities of men to
civil war. After he is exiled for his city-saving crime, the knight
finds himself at the mercy of a headstrong prefect, who believes
the only way to rebuild their lands is by resurrecting a monarchy.
As he fights for his freedom, and survival, he meets a mysterious
stranger, who believes the Nameless is meant for a greater purpose.
Now he is faced with his own destiny as the storms of a new
conflict begin to mass in the north, forcing him to choose between
fighting for himself and fighting to save humanity. In a world
where enemies becomes allies, and allies become enemies, one man
will change the course of history forever. Who will it be: a hero
or a madman?
