The Mongoliad: Book One - Historical Fantasy Epic
The first novel in The Foreworld Saga, The Mongoliad: Book One delivers an epic tale set in 13th century Europe. A small band of warriors and mystics raise their swords to save Europe from a bloodthirsty Mongol invasion. Inspired by their leader, an elder of an order of warrior monks, they embark on a perilous journey that uncovers hidden knowledge and conflict among powerful secret societies that have shaped world events for millennia.
A Story Within a Story
The saga reaches the modern world through a unique path. In the late 19th century, Sir Richard F. Burton, an expert on exotic languages and historical swordsmanship, was approached by a mysterious group of English martial arts aficionados to translate a collection of long-lost manuscripts. Burton died before completing his work, and his efforts were thought lost until recently rediscovered by amateur archaeologists in the ruins of a mansion in Trieste, Italy. From this collection of arcana, the incredible tale of The Mongoliad was recreated.
High Adventure and Unflinching Battle
This historical fantasy novel combines high adventure, unforgettable characters, and unflinching battle scenes. The narrative tests willpower and blades while redefining the scope of world-building. Set against the backdrop of the Mongol invasion of Europe, the story follows warrior monks and mystics as they fight to preserve their world.
