Description
A prequel novel to a new series: The Saint and the Dragon.
One world. Two religions. The Saint, and the Dragon. Between them more than a thousand years of conflict.
The Caliphate of the Dragon is on the march once more. This time, their target is Korvak, the last vassal of the once great Myrekium Empire. Korvak. A land of unforgiving terrain, of mountains and rivers and paranoid rulers and despots. A land where victory in war can hang entirely upon the vagaries of the weather and the coming of the winter snow, and where betrayal and shifting loyalties are never far away.
And if Korvak falls, the whole continent of Avrula, and all the lands of the Saint, will be open to the Dragon's hunger.
The call has gone out across the lands of the Saint's worshippers. From the north, the Holy Moravian Empire musters its soldiers. Whilst from their island home in the Inner Sea, the last great army of the Myrekium Empire sails under the embittered Emperor Michael and his son, Prince Armatus, to protect their sole remaining vassal.
It is a war no side can afford to lose.
And in a war between two nations with so much animosity, can the heroics of any man, even a Myrekium Prince, be enough not just for victory, but for an honourable, lasting peace?
For the Myrekium veteran Darius, tutor to the Prince, war is a duty he has grown weary of. For the young Prince Armatus, it is a chance to prove himself and his people as honourable men in battle against the Dragon. And for the bastard boy Durro, son of Korvak's Prince Lazaar, it is the chance to renew his hope, hope that his future is not the same as his father's . . .
War will test each of them. It will punish them. It will mock their hopes and dreams. It will realise their darkest fears.
And for some, it will completely destroy them . . .
