Synopsis
The first volume of the Norsunder War follows the allies of Rise of the Alliance as their world is invaded. Atan, Queen of Sartor, chooses to save lives and knowledge rather than flee to safety. Jilo of Chwahirsland resists the return of an evil king. Senrid of Marloven Hess faces a combined army not seen in eight centuries and risks losing everything he values. The story explores heroism, betrayal, endurance and resistance on both sides of the conflict.
