A leader. A secret. A return home to a land in crisis.The beginning of an epic destiny... When Alaric returns home from a failed crusade, he finds a home changed beyond recognition. It's a land drowning in chaos and overrun with lawlessness. He is a battle-hardened general who has faced countless foes and navigated the intricate political alliances of the Cardinal King’s Court in the Holy Land. But now he confronts his greatest challenge yet — reclaiming his homeland of Dekar. Grappling with loyalty, duty, and the burden of leadership, Alaric must face the grim realities of war and the weight of a destiny he does not want as he unravels the mysteries of what ruined Dekar. Otherwise, he might lose his home forever... Marc Alan Edelheit invites readers to immerse themselves in a new Epic Military Fantasy saga that is as emotionally compelling as it is action-packed. Enter a meticulously crafted world featuring progression fantasy and kingdom-building elements, where the stakes are high and the battles are so visceral you can almost smell the blood.
