The Warguard (The Cyclopean Castles, #4) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Diomedes Melas has orchestrated the theft of an imperial army that is to march to Valiri's war and oppose the Horde of the Bloody Hand. His own regiment, the Warguard, is a part of this army. He leaves the castle and everything else behind, the life he had made for himself, his woman and any future they might have had together, his brother and half of the Snow Lions. He leaves knowing that he cannot return even should he survive the desperate battles that lie ahead.

However, Diomedes is but a newcomer to the board of the game of kings. His opponents have vastly greater experience and resources and care not for Valiri's war or for the danger to their own lands. They have neither the bravery nor the will to honour their commitments and in so doing, protect their own people. Diomedes faces an uphill battle and for him the war has begun long before he reaches the battlefield. Even so, should he lose the political battle, Diomedes will not turn back. The Warguard will march and the Black Captain will make death itself a weapon to drive into the heart of the Bloody Hand.

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.
