Blade of Empire

Runacarendalur Caerthalien has spent centuries mastering battle, yet the last war leaves him on the losing side, betrayed by his brother and trapped in a prophecy he does not understand. He flees, only to lead an army of Otherfolk—centaurs, merfolk, gryphons, minotaurs, and talking bears—against the Elven invaders who took their lands. The second novel follows a new front in the conflict and the shifting loyalties of war.
