Dark- Stories

Siege - Book III of The Harvest Wars Series. Mighty Covenport, jewel of the Boiling Sea, has fallen to the walking dead. Yet in the Scarred Empire, that most powerful and ancient of the human realms, the plague of the undead is a common threat, as ordinary as the storms that ravage sea and land. Mighty armies gather, joined in their desire to liberate the city - and plunder as much of its spoils as possible. Yet what at best should have been a minor adventure in the Empire's long history of its war against the undying might very well be its ultimate downfall. For the dead that plague the city are no mindless vermin - they are united, controlled by beings that once were the Empire's greatest heroes: the Thirteen. While the armies of these Deathlords rise to do battle with their mortal enemies, it once more falls to the Scarlands most infamous band of mercenaries to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Will the Skulltakers cheat death once more or will they join its ranks?

Betrayed by the "elites" and left for dead in a mutated dungeon, Alex discovers the true nature of his power. He doesn't just pick up trash; he strips the essence of the world. Broken swords become mythic blades. Dead monsters become permanent stat boosts. Even the skills of his enemies aren't safe from his grasp. From the filth of the slums to the pinnacle of the God-realms, Alex Kane will prove that in a world of heroes and monsters, the one who takes everything is king. "You call it trash? I call it my throne."

« Les guerres ne sont qu'une larme d'encre souillant le parchemin de l'histoire. Impuissant, on ne peut que les observer s'abattre, et tenter de sauver ceux qui nous sont chers. » Il était une fois, dans les contrées luxuriantes et vallonnées du Warldiel, des temps semés d'incertitudes... Un jour, de sombres présages apparurent et l'équilibre précaire établi dix ans plus tôt à la suite des croisades des Monarchies Thaumaturges chancela. À l'est, les ambitions grandissantes d'un sultan belliqueux ravivèrent de vieilles tensions ; à l'ouest, la paresse, la luxure et la corruption émoussèrent la vigilance des rois et seigneurs. Et au centre de ce monde, la légendaire cité d'Arval, plaque tournante de deux cultures et symbole de la foi des Neuf-Seigneurs, s'enlisa dans la tourmente. La guerre est déjà là, clament certains, et nul n'a la bravoure de se dresser contre cette tragédie prophétisée. Pourtant, au cœur de cette valse sanguinaires des royaumes, pris dans une tempête de lames et de souffrances, deux jeunes personnes fredonnent de concert une symphonie... une symphonie vindicative, pour survivre ; la geste de Rohan et Lyrna.
