Heroes

Product Description

They say Black Dows killed more men than winter & clawed his way to the throne of the North up a hill of skulls. The King of the Union ever a jealous neighbour is not about to stand smiling by while he claws his way any higher. The orders have been given & the armies are toiling through the northern mud. Thousands of men are converging on a forgotten ring of stones on a worthless hill in an unimportant valley & theyve brought a lot of sharpened metal with them. Bremer dan Gorst disgraced master swordsman has sworn to reclaim his stolen honour on the battlefield. Obsessed with redemption & addicted to violence hes far past caring how much blood gets spilled in the attempt. Even if its his own. Prince Calder isnt interested in honour & still less in getting himself killed. All he wants is power & hell tell any lie use any trick & betray any friend to get it. Just as long as he doesnt have to fight for it himself. Curnden Craw the last honest man in the North has gained nothing from a life of warfare but swollen knees & frayed nerves. He hardly even cares who wins any more he just wants to do the right thing. But can he even tell what that is with the world burning down around him? Over three bloody days of battle the fate of the North will be decided. But with both sides riddled by intrigues follies feuds & petty jealousies it is unlikely to be the noblest hearts or even the strongest arms that prevail. Three men. One battle. No Heroes.
