It’s war. Zandrax wants to rule the world from King Halvard’s throne within the Holy City of Thanos. Seventy thousand men are marching toward Thanos, with a supply train five miles long. They can only march as fast as the train can travel. However, King Halvard only has less than twenty thousand in his army. How can they win? But what is the prince of thieves and Lady Felayna doing? Is that love or war? And how about Prince Kalan and Princess Altina? Neither Lord Darak nor King Halvard seem able to put the pairs together no matter how hard they try. Then the three mages from Wylche manage to dump the broken and battered body of Prince Qarvon into the hall at the Holy Castle at Thanos, reminding everyone that there really is a war going on. But it will take a miracle to heal thepPrince’s body and hope he will live to walk again. All the while, Zandrax’s army is marching up the King’s Highway to Thanos, as snipers from Thanos ride down to snipe at the edges of that army, hoping to reduce it to a manageable number that more closely matches the number of the High King’s army. It’s war! With surprising goings on around the city of Thanos. What is King Halvard thinking of? Destroying his own city? For what purpose?
