Brekka Russ L Howard

Initiating the Great War on the mainland, fierce, bold, beautiful Brekka, the king's daughter, and foremost of the Lady Knights, draws first blood. She joins with the Half-King Kanarus to cut their way through enemy Zongas, overcome battles with horrific beasts, and slay scientifically engineered trans-human monstrosities. In alignment with Brekka's mission, Arundel engages in a strategic conflict to wrench back ancestral Herewardi Lands from the sinister Pitter Commissars of Taxus. The Jywdic Pirate, El Yid, comes to Arundel's aide and shows his cunning at sea by besieging the Port of Elves' Island and establishing a naval base in Taxus for the Syrfolk. Khem, at first believed to be one of few black survivors of the racial and ethnic conflicts, has loved Sur Sceaf as a father and loyally fought for the Syrfolk cause. He learns that many of his race have survived in the Southlands of Panygyrus. Khem along with the Dog-Soldiers bravely enter the Swamplands to destroy a concentration camp, wherein the Pitters are holding many people enslaved. This is Khem's only chance to save his people from genocide and castrated servitude. Is the Black Race doomed to extinction like so many of the others? After so many onslaughts, can Brekka overcome the Blind-Seer Katus and his Dark Elves? The final judgment will be pronounced at the Battle of Big Springs, where all the Dark Forces converge to blot out the Syr Folk.
