Tales of the Vangen: The Siege of Middengard (Book 2) by FritztheGrim

[Completed]Five years have passed since the Black Ministry's betrayal against The Empress, their rebellion quashed at the hands of the Vangen Royal Guard. But the roots of treachery lie deep, and it is soon discovered that the Ministry did not act alone, aided by a mysterious group of Sorcerers calling themselves The Cabal. Now the Vangen march north against them, into a strange and misty land known simply as the Medial, to lay siege against the impregnable bastion-city of Middengard. A task that some consider to be impossible. But Libro has faced these impossibilities before. Tempered by the fires of rebellion, the newly inducted Captain reluctantly sets his sights on the task at hand. Along the way he must face the dangers of The Medial, derision within his own rank, and the strange, evil sorceries wielded by the Cabal. The odds are stacked against him, but luck it seems is on the Vangen' side. For Middengard is not without its enemies, both within and outside its sheer stone walls.

Enslaved by lenakalan

Decades ago, humans found the peaceful land of Vaerali where all dragon-human hybrid races had coexisted in peace and prosperity for many millennia. The humans saw the lush green plains and golden fields of wheat and sent their people in force across the seas to burn and conquer it in the name of their Emperor. Without any other motive than desire for what they don't have, they declared war on Vaerali and chaos erupted across the tranquil lands. Screaming sounded day and night as hybrids all across Vaerali were slaughtered; whole races going extinct in one night as the humans spread their ruin across the land, claiming it one town at a time. This dark time in Vaerali is known all across the world as the Dragon Slaughter; the night the dragon hybrid race was conquered. Years pass and a tentative peace finally settles over the scarred lands of Vaerali as the humans shove the hybrids far into the shadow of their reign. They force any who resist their rule into enslavement or, if that doesn't prove to be enough to crush their spirit, they kill them and hang their wings as trophies - and a warning to all the others who disobey the reign. To this day, the humans still hold all of the power over Vaerali and, in turn, all of the dragon hybrids. But there are storm clouds on the horizon. And from the rubble of a decimated civilization, a rebellion is growing.

[Completed] The Royal Guard of the Empire has faithfully served Byzantia for nearly three centuries now. Hand picked from foreign lands, these guardsmen hold no political ties, carry no agendas, and bare no creeds except to those who sit upon the Onyx Throne. They are vanguards, protectors, loyalists. They are Vangen. Change has come to the Empire. An Empress sits upon the throne now, destroying any who would rebel against her with both fire and iron. To the east, her loyal Vangen work to quash the newest rebellion, until a letter arrives one day, marked with the Empresses seal. The contents within bare only dread and disturbance for the Guardsmen. The Black Ministry, the former Emperor's cabal of Sorcerers, have turned against the Empress. The Vangen's return is bittersweet. The city they once called home is now a battlefield, every street a choke-point. Every home a possible nesting ground for rebels. The Royal Guard will have to fight tooth and nail to put down the Ministry and protect the Empress, but the deeper they go, the harder the lines begin to blur. In a world where good and evil does not exist, where then does a man's loyalty lie? (Comments and Feedback are always appreciated)
