When famine and disease spread throughout Tahr killing the royal family of Mor, a new and terrible ruler ascends the throne of men in the chaos that ensues. King Halsen the First unites the tribal orcs and trolls with the people of Mor through a common hatred, claiming the elven people of Thornwood are withholding a cure to the Strife.
Captain Neral Evanti and his courageous son Banor lead a heroic charge of Cavalry in the ensuing war on the Praër of Thornwood as the peace of an age is broken.
Strife is the backstory of Captain Evanti, a beloved character in "Omens of Fury", a debut epic fantasy novel by Sean Hinn.
A three-chapter preview of "Omens of Fury" is included in this edition.
A small story with BIG heart! This short story will have you riding a river of emotions, quite nearly from the start. I can't remember a book of any length so thoroughly pulling me along with the main character's feelings and thoughts. Get ready for a story that ranges from heart pounding to heart rending, with an amazing insight into one captain's struggle through "Strife" and his honor. Read this book, you will not be disappointed.
Having read the first two books, this was a great read while waiting for the 3rd book to be published. I was already familiar with the world and the characters, and I picked up on the setting quickly and where it fit in the overall storyline.
I could not give it 5 stars simply because I believe the short story would have been difficult to follow without having read the books already.
I really enjoyed this short story. I was pulled in from the very first page. You will read about valour and honorable warriors and an evil devious king. A lot of story packed into this short. Don't miss out!
