The Plight of a People is an epic of one people's continued journey to survive in an ancient world lush with catastrophe. It is split into three individual stories, each separated by countless generations and connected by the culture, struggles and themes they all share. Great beasts and watchful gods intervene in the many wars of the book, but their majestic influences only serve to heighten the carnage. Marvelous and terrible ambitions in both war and philosophy prevail in the minds of its main characters, and these same ambitions find themselves dictating the fate of their world. In Part I, the story follows disgraced military officer Solinus as he attempts to once again be the man he once was and single-handedly defend his people from annihilation from a hostile group of religious zealots. 

Part I is to be available in its entirety right here on Wattpad, while the second and third parts are currently available for Kindle and will be available for paperback shortly.All Rights Reserved
