Hyaterra is a world much like ours was before the civilized world as we know it except with magic and wizards and helpful elves and amazing sword smiths. Now that the last great beast has been slain and the final horde of goblins and orcs have been shoved in a deep hole in the ground guard by the knights of Oshtex and Orichoro, the real monsters slither in the courts of Kings and the minds of powerful warlords. The eternal war between Sumrila and Vussaui rage on, the King Zephkletos plots of a new world based on freewill, and the sea dogs of Deruwa have talk of being free folk unchained from the powerful kingdom of Gycrun. This is the world of Hyaterra. In this book you will meet Grandki, a towns leader in Deruwa, as he tries to take the noble course and making sure his children have a better future. Will Deruwa be successful in their goal of freedom or will the rebels be defeated by the might of Gycrun? Will surrounding kingdoms watch the battle unfold or will they pick a side and fight?
