This book was originally published as one volume with Book Two 'The Forces Combine' as The Siege of Doraal
In a world previously decimated by nuclear explosions and contamination, wars and pestilences and a brief time of peace the suspicions of war again raised its ugly head An expedition of Ragnan Ra’s forces from the Moraki capital city to the land of the Xubile, to Orram and its great mysterious forest and it’s even more mysterious inhabitants with powers of the mind that needed no weapons of war and back to the Galtan city of Doraal.
Lead by High Marshal Josefus the Moraki Declons mounted upon the phantas come into possession of weapons of the Ancients on their trek to the Wasteland of the Xubile, encountering Raakin raids, deluges, torrential downpours, and ice showers along the way. Hybrids on both sides in times of great anger morph into their former animal ancestors, when senseless torture and killing become the order of the day The story of Josefus’ Declons and their circuitous journey South coincides with the travail of Galtan deserters and their families endeavouring to flee from the insanity of their despotic ruler and the combined forces onward struggle ends with the deciding siege and battle at Doraal the Moraki capital city of the tyrant Anakk Ra
