Fantasy collides with history in this rousing coming of age story filled with vengeful rulers, violent warriors, unimaginable weapons, and hellish beasts! The bastion city of Karastian defiantly withstood the aggression of the militant Surxii for over eleven hundred years. This impenetrable fortress, surrounded by twenty square miles of forty-foot walls, valiantly repelled twenty-two previous attacks with hardly a stone knocked out of place. Yet, the twenty-third siege would be nothing like the world had ever seen. This incredible seige sets the stage for a stirring coming of age story. At just nine years old, Steffan lost both of his parents to a sickness so terrible it was known simply as "The Black." Five years later, in the chill of winter, the Surxii laid waste to his home, destroying everyone and everything he had ever known. Forced to flee to the bastion city, the teen was unaware that a young ruler bent on revenge would soon follow with an army of 80,000 merciless warriors, devastating siege engines, and menacing beasts seemingly brought up from the depths of Hell itself. Entering the city angry and broken, will Steffan be able to find peace before everything is threatened once more?
