    About this series

    Calesh Saissan is a captain of the Hand of the Lord, a military Order fighting in Tura d’Madai. But he has no faith in the God he seems to serve. The purpose of the Hand is to distract attention, so the All-Church will not notice the heresy growing in its homeland of Sarténe.

    Now word has reached Calesh that the charade has failed. The heresy has been revealed, and the All-Church will turn its next Crusade west, into Sarténe. So Calesh comes home, back to the land he left eleven years ago to escape the sorrows of his youth. Back to another war, this one for survival. With him come the soldiers of the Hand, ready to defend their homes.

    With him too comes his mixed-race wife, the half-Madai Farajalla. Waiting are his old friends, three men with whom he made legends once, and also the Lady of the Hidden House behind her veils of mystery. Together they must stand against the All-Church, or see their country burn.

      The war for Sarténe has begun. In the city of Mayence the people prepare defences and wait for the All-Church army to come. Everything depends on Calesh Saissan and his friends, but the invading army is moving quickly, cutting the city off. In the confusion, an assassin has slipped into the city and is waiting for his chance, even as the enemy approaches. Luthien struggles with his conscience, determined to keep his vow of non-violence but torn as he watches his friends face dangers. In the mountains, the Lady of the Hidden House teaches her lore to Farajalla, her chosen heir. Because the ancient arts must survive, or nothing Calesh does will matter. But as the All-Church moves to surround Mayence, it seems nothing of Sarténe will survive at all.

    I've been a writer since I was a kid, but only recently decided to publish on the internet. A few books will be coming now, since I have several backed up: what Stephen King calls "trunk novels".Away from writing, I like to watch football (soccer) and rugby, enjoy a drink and going to the cinema, and like good food.
