Produktbeschreibung
The heavy sound of the Horde's drums of war drowns the Kingdom of Valiri. Castle Porphyron is to host a provincial council between imperial representatives and a valiran emissary who's sent to request the empire's aid. The Bloody Hand learns of this initiative and he makes his own plans to ensure than an alliance between the two dorian realms does not come to pass. War arrives at Porphyron's threshold on the wings of monsters and the clash of steel and magic reverberates in the barren hills. This is an epic fantasy novel close to eighty thousand words long set in the Age of Thunder. It immerses the reader into the lives and the trials of the Dorians - the people of the spear - as the first millennium of the age comes to a close. This book is the second part of the Castle Porphyron story arc and it continues the tale that began in The Horde. Those willing to embark on an epic journey have but to open the book and turn the page.

Autorenporträt
I was a boy in the '80s and a young man in the '90s and I wouldn't change that - unless I could live in the Hyborian Age, I'd make that change in an instant. I grew up with European and American comics, science-fiction and fantasy books and the best music and movies that mankind has produced in its history. I was reading Marvel's Conan comics since grade school and discovered AD&D just on the edge from adolescence to manhood. Since then, my hobbies have accompanied me down the difficult and winding road of life. I wanted to write stories since I was eighteen or so and in fact I've written loads of stories that people have enjoyed in a role-playing setting. At some point I decided to do this thing that I've always wanted to do and write a true novel. It would annoy me to no end to die before writing at least one fantasy story. So, I began writing a story. It began modestly, with the desire to write one single book tentatively entitled 'The Castle' but it grew quickly and it will be finished after about nine books. Now it's called 'The Cyclopean Castles' (bigger story, more and bigger castles). On the way, the stories branched out and I began a second series, 'The Blades of Dawn.' I have prayed to Crom for success but he is an uncaring god and he sits alone on his mountain, laughing down at me so to Hell with him! I'll consider it a success if I finish my stories and I have my books sitting on a bookshelf, keeping company to the likes of Howard, Moorcock, Gemmel and many other beloved fantasy authors. That's all you need to know about me, now go and read one of my books.
