Commanded by Johan Jokellsward, The Brotherhood of the Eagle has united the vying factions of the Reavesburg Clan as they struggle to defeat their enemies, led by the monstrous King Adalrikr Kinslayer. However, as Adalrikr gathers his dark magical forces and retreats to his fortress, Johan’s advisor Rothgar realises their task is impossible without outside aid. With the fate of the Brotherhood hanging in the balance, Rothgar embarks on a perilous quest, journeying into the lands of legend in a desperate attempt to even the odds stacked against them. Elsewhere, events begin to move in Norlhast where Rothgar’s sister, Nuna, leads a plot to overthrow their Vorund occupiers. Using her influential position as the Lady of Norlhast Keep, she walks a fine and dangerous line, appearing to collaborate with Adalrikr’s henchmen whilst secretly working to free her adopted homeland. Can Johan, Rothgar and Nuna turn the tide against Adalrikr, or will this struggle be the one that finally breaks the Brotherhood?
Author
Tim Hardie grew up in the seaside town of Southport during the 1970s and 1980s. This was before anyone had even heard of the internet and Dungeons & Dragons was cutting edge. Living in a house where every available wall was given over to bookshelves, he discovered fantasy writers like JRR Tolkien, Michael Moorcock, Ursula Le Guin, Alan Garner, Stephen Donaldson and Susan Cooper. Those stories led him into the science fiction worlds created by Frank Herbert, Philip K Dick, Arthur C Clarke and HP Lovecraft. After training to become a lawyer Tim lived in London for three years before moving to Yorkshire in 1999, where he has worked ever since in a variety of legal, commercial, financial and management roles. His writing began as a hobby in his early twenties and has gradually grown into something else that now threatens to derail his promising career. Tim writes epic fantasy that will appeal to fans of Joe Abercrombie, John Gwynne and Robin Hobb.
