In a world where civilization has crumbled and monsters roam, a young hero emerges. Long ago, the universe was united, but now only remnants of that past remain, scattered across enclaves—some small, some ruined, some wild. Between these settlements lurk monstrous beings: twisted men, alien creatures, and entities that threaten all life. A Leader has risen, uniting the fractured human settlements under a banner of peace and justice, while ruthlessly combating chaos. In his capital, Dun Add, he enforces law and order, sending his Champions to restore civilization beyond its borders. Pal, a youth from a rural background, arrives in Dun Add with dreams of becoming a Champion. A budding Maker, he has wielded the weapons of the Ancients back home, but he is unprepared for the challenges that await him in the capital. Meanwhile, the Leader and his followers remain unaware of the true potential hidden within this seemingly simple country boy. This tale unfolds as a story of hope, courage, and determination amidst violence and chaos. David Drake's masterful storytelling captures the intricate political machinations and the harsh realities of war, appealing to fans of classic space opera. The narrative promises excitement and depth, showcasing the resilience of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds.
