General Polas Kas Dorian was leader of the greatest army the world had ever known. His forces stood against the God of Fear, Exandercrast, and were completely wiped out. 1000 years later, in a time when Hope is a distant memory and corruption thrives, prophecies speak of the Ancient General's return to lead the free people of the world into a new era. A king of a broken and scattered race, a scholarly mage, and the Daughter of Hope have spent their lives preparing to join him in his great quest. However, when the once-great leader returns, he cares nothing for the old prophecies or for hope, and his mind is bent only toward vengeance. 144: Redemption is a fast paced fantasy novel that borrows elements from Norse, Greek, and Native American myth and swirls them together into a new world full of warriors, magic, and draconic deities. It follows the quest genre, but focuses on characters and their struggles with fear, faith, hope, loss, and destiny. As Dallas E. Caldwell's second novel, it completes the Iron Blood 2-book series and sets the stage for further adventures in the world of Traesparin.
