Empires of the Dead Al Halsey

Kaelin Martin's ancestors were sailors from the founding of the Realm. Now, the young seafarer has forsaken his family's history and joined the War Order. Much to the consternation of his parents, he now trains to become a soldier. His mission is to guard the human race from their traditional enemies: trolls and dwarves. The world is at war, and the young man feels called to defend his homeland more than honor is heritage. Goldleaf Terrorthorn is the finest young elf archer to be seen in generations. His heart burns with anger at the recently signed peace treaty with the humans. The elf now looks for purpose, convinced the fragile reconciliation is temporary as he is thrust in the middle of his people's age old enemies. Aeneria is a world where every sentient being can learn magic. Armies of stout warriors use sorcery to enhance their bodies and weapons. The hands of the gods touch the world every day, shaping it to the benefit their loyal worshipers. "A definite must read for battle enthusiasts!" Dennis Montoya, coauthor of Over the Dragonwall "What's not to love about magic, elves, dragons and something dark that brews just beyond the horizon?!" M. S. Murray, author of Cassie: Black Sand and coauthor of Silver Bells, Curses and Spells "Empires of the Dead is like a cuisine crafted by a master chef. Its ingredients are part Game of Thrones, part Lord of the Rings, a pinch of Deadliest Catch, a dash of Clash of the Titans, and then mix with Eyes of the Dragon. You get a story you can sink your teeth into!" Dawn Authier, author of Life Gives Me Gas and Bitter Pill
