The Heroes

More about the book

Three men. One battle. No Heroes. Black Dow, a ruthless figure, has ascended to the throne of the North, leaving a trail of death in his wake. The King of the Union, threatened by Dow's rise, has mobilized his armies to confront him in the northern mud. Thousands of soldiers are gathering at a seemingly insignificant hill, armed and ready for conflict. Bremer dan Gorst, a disgraced master swordsman, seeks to reclaim his lost honor through bloodshed, driven by a thirst for redemption that blinds him to the consequences. Prince Calder, on the other hand, is motivated solely by a desire for power and is willing to deceive and betray anyone to achieve his ambitions, avoiding the battlefield at all costs. Curnden Craw, the last honest man in the North, is weary from years of war and longs for clarity amid the chaos, struggling to discern what the right course of action is as the world crumbles around him. Over three brutal days of fighting, the North's fate hangs in the balance. With both sides plagued by intrigue, rivalries, and personal vendettas, it seems unlikely that noble intentions or sheer strength will determine the victor. In this grim tale, the lines between heroism and villainy blur, revealing the harsh realities of war.
