The first novel to be released in The Foreworld Saga, The
Mongoliad: Book One, is an epic-within-an-epic, taking place in
13th century. In it, a small band of warriors and mystics raise
their swords to save Europe from a bloodthirsty Mongol invasion.
Inspired by their leader (an elder of an order of warrior monks),
they embark on a perilous journey and uncover the history of hidden
knowledge and conflict among powerful secret societies that had
been shaping world events for millennia. But the saga reaches the
modern world via a circuitous route. In the late 19th century, Sir
Richard F. Burton, an expert on exotic languages and historical
swordsmanship, is approached by a mysterious group of English
martial arts aficionados about translating a collection of
long-lost manuscripts. Burton dies before his work is finished, and
his efforts were thought lost until recently rediscovered by a team
of amateur archaeologists in the ruins of a mansion in Trieste,
Italy. From this collection of arcana, the incredible tale of The
Mongoliad was recreated. Full of high adventure, unforgettable
characters, and unflinching battle scenes, The Mongoliad ignites a
dangerous quest where willpower and blades are tested and the scope
of world-building is redefined. A note on this edition: The
Mongoliad began as a social media experiment, combining serial
story-telling with a unique level of interaction between authors
and audience during the creative process. Since its original
iteration, The Mongoliad has been restructured, edited, and
rewritten under the supervision of its authors to create a more
cohesive reading experience and will be published as a trilogy of
novels. This edition is the definitive edition and is the authors'
preferred text.
