Darksteel Destinies : Volume 1 of the Wildersteel Chronicles
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Daedus is an ex-priest turned soldier. For a decade, he's fought and led the dwindling Fourth Cohort as praefect against the hordes of the Auger Potentates in the Frostmarches. An imperial courier arrives bearing orders to return to the capital at once. However, it soon becomes clear someone in the Markan Senate is setting the stage for a coup and Daedus and his men are pawns in a power play. Their situation worsens with the arrival of Adzutucoatl, an emissary from the jungles of Mictlan. He comes bearing bears gifts in exchange for troops to wage a war against enemies as powerful as the Auger Potentates. What transpires sets into motion events that lead Daedus and his companions on an epic journey into the heart of darkness where they must conquer the treachery of sorcerers and the wrath of a vengeful demi-goddess intent on resurrecting her dark empire with her weapons of wildersteel.
From the Author
My first fantasy novel. All in all I am very pleased with how it turned out. I will be the first to admit I am no Robert E Howard or Glen Cook, and I do see some things I might have worded a bit different in hindsight, but I honestly think anyone who reads this book will be pleasantly surprised at the depth of the multiple storylines, the pathos and mythos, the world I have created and the surprises I have waiting within. If you are a fan of Glen Cook's earlier work, ie The Black Company, then Darksteel Destinies should prove a worthwhile read.
