THE CYCLOPEAN CASTLES #5: THE CHAINS OF DEATH- VASILIS PETROVIC

Περιγραφή

Diomedes Melas and his soldiers are hunted across the burned ground. At every turn, salvation is denied them and Diomedes has to make bold and desperate decisions to keep his men alive. The Snow Lions try to make sense of what has happened and get to the truth of the matter. They cannot help their captain but they can avenge him. Teriesta Rosecloud and Aratheor Bladefallen refuse to give up hope and embark on a fool’s quest to find and aid Diomedes.

Valiri and Heracleia have lost a hero which seems to be a small thing since the war against the Bloody Hand is all but lost. Desperate measures are taken by those who refuse to lie down and die. Love becomes a tool for murder, loyalty turns to betrayal and vengeance changes the face of the war. Diomedes and Aratheor fight their battles in defiance of the doom that draws ever nearer. The chains of death draw taut and prophecy guides the spears of the brave who pay for victory with the coin of life and blood.

This is an epic fantasy novel 98.000 words long, set in the Age of Thunder. The world of the Dorians – the people of the spear – teeters on the brink as the first millennium of the age comes to a close. The story follows Diomedes Melas, the master of Castle Porphyron, during his desperate struggle against the Horde of the Bloody Hand. This book is the fifth part of the Cyclopean Castles and the second one in the Castle of Thorns story arc. Those willing to embark on an epic journey have but to open the book and turn the page.
