Ancient Magic. Modern Steel.
Jarrod Torrealday, Lord Protector of Falconsrealm, awakens one glorious fall morning to find his castle under siege and his alliances shattered as a new threat rises: a revolution driven by a sorceress wielding forbidden magic and led by an unstoppable swordsman from the world he left behind. Worse yet, the weapons Jarrod brought with him from Earth are rocking the country on its heels and threatening everything he came to save.
At a candlelit crossroads of dark sorcery and espionage, Jarrod must choose whether to side with a sworn enemy for the good of the realm, or gamble the future of the kingdom in a showdown of ancient magic against modern steel.
Contains mature themes.
'I didn't come here to sell my soul. I came here to buy it back.'
Once dubbed 'The Deadliest Man Alive,' Jarrod Torrealday is a former Olympic saber hopeful and medieval weapons expert banned from competition for killing another fencer in a duel. Despondent, volatile, alcoholic, yet still one of the greatest swordsmen alive, he now works for third-rate fantasy films as a technical consultant and stuntman.
When Jarrod accepts the gig of a lifetime from a sorcerer looking for a hero, he finds himself facing an invading army in a world inhabited by creatures from Earth's mythical past. He soon learns that the enemy mastermind is also from Earth, and has laid the foundations for a new kind of war.
Contains mature themes.
