The beast-men are wise, and form governments, which they pit against each other. Constantly, the nations of non-men war against one another over land and resources, such as lakes, rivers, and human slaves. In this beast’s world, there stands one human kingdom, struggling to survive against their ferocious adversity. Firestone Castle is the only human stronghold left in a world dominated by the humanoids bent on its destruction. Winged generals and reptilian lords surround the home of the Goldenheart King, in hopes of destroying him, and finally ending his bloodline. At the edge of the Green River Valley, King Manson defends his fortress with his faithful soldiers at his side. The threat of the enemy grows, but his resolve grows with it, as there is a new member in the family of the royal human remnant: an infant girl is born, the Princess Athedra. As she draws her first breath, Athedra’s enemies are already at her gates, vying desperately to destroy the hope of mankind. Yet she is not alone. Beside the Princess are brave men and women who are willing to fight for her. Some are old, loyal soldiers, who proudly bear the emblem of the King. Some are young, and without loyalty, as they have never before been tested. Above all Athedra's protectors is one who was born to die for her. He is a fighter of unequalled strength and virtue. He is the Guardian Shadow – a sword-wielding monk sworn to protect the Princess with his very life. As the beast nations increase their choke-hold on all that survives of mankind, the scattered defenders of Firestone will have to choose whether to unite, and join the guardian shadow to defend Athedra, or let her enemies destroy the Princess, and all of humanity with her. 67,853 words, 220, 17, Literature & Fiction, 5391236011, Ancient & Classical Literature, 5391237011, Anthologies & Literary Collections, 10016, British, 10399, Classics, 10129, Contemporary, 2159, Drama, 10141, Erotica, 10108, Essays & Correspondence, 16260301, Foreign Language Fiction, 10134, Genre Fiction, 10177, Historical Fiction, 10204, History & Criticism, 4465, Humor, 10132, Literary, 5391238011, Mythology & Folk Tales, 10248, Poetry, 10300, Short Stories, 9822, United States, 542654, Women's Fiction, 10311, World Literature, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 16273, Adventure, 16272, Science Fiction, 25, Science Fiction & Fantasy, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books<
