The Horde

"It is the Age of Thunder, an age of conflict between humanity and the spawn of the Dark Gods. Ixiak, the Bloody Hand, is a darkmage of depthless hatred and relentless in the pursuit of his ambition - to bring ruin upon human lands.

It is for darkspawn like him that the twin cyclopean castles were built on both sides of the Stonewall mountains. They stand as colossal sentinels of stone over the lands of men and they have withstood the darkness for centuries. The Masters of these castles are Diomedes Melas and Aratheor Bladefallen and they are ever ready to face the hordes of their enemies with bronze, with steel and with courage.

The Masters believe that the cyclopean castles will stand forever but Ixiak intends to make even the stones bleed. His magic is born of primordial rage and empty darkness and he will not accept defeat. Can the cyclopean castles endure the crushing grip of the Bloody Hand? Will the Masters stand or fall before the Horde?"

This is an epic fantasy novel close to ninety thousand words long, set in the Age of Thunder. It immerses the reader into the lives and the trials of the dorian peoples as the first millennium of the age comes to a close. This book is the first part of the Castle Porphyron story arc which is comprised of three books and it also launches the Cyclopean Castles series. Those willing to embark on an epic journey have but to open the book and turn the page.
