Beschreibung

-Pressed into Service-Facing a crisis, and looking for any excuse to strike in force against the orcs occupying the hills to their south, the city-state Kashmer conscripts privateers and adventurers into war. A band of strangers must learn to support and adapt to each other as a daring plan separates them from the main force in hostile territory. Each possess their own mystery, but without cooperation and trust, they will be doomed to failure. Pressed into Service is the introduction to the bold Pilgrims with Blades series. -Pilgrims with Blades-The half-orc savage, who takes pride in a company he no longer serves. The dusk-skinned archer, carrying a bow from her forgotten homeland. The dwarf who studies the past so he can create a future. The knight who pays fealty to no lord. The elf sorceress seeking knowledge, but what specific question is she trying to answer?They will band together, seeking separate goals. How far will pilgrims travel to discover who they are? Author Douglas Van Dyke Jr, inspired by the Conan series of adventures by Robert E. Howard, begins an epic tale drawn around five characters. Each has their own concealed mystery they attempt to pursue: life-quests driving them to the ends of the Realm of Dhea Loral. Their individual pilgrimages cause them to band together as they face their failings and fears.

Autor

Douglas was born on Nov. 28, 1971. He got the chance to live in many different places while he was growing up, courtesy of the assignments the US Army offered to his father. Too quiet and too shy for too long, there were always dreams of other worlds and places...and the desire to write about them. He got into fantasy role-playing games in his mid-teens. To this day he has friends whom he meets in tabletop role-playing games as well as online adventures. Many of his characters evolved in games, and each developed their own personality. Inheritance of a Sword and a Path is the second book he wrote, though the first he published. He finished the rest of the Earthrin Stones series and has moved on to other novels set in Dhea Loral...some of which reference the events in this book! The Widow Brigade started its reception earning ten straight 5-star reviews, including a recent widow who said it helped with her healing process. He has been making appearances at local conventions and signing books for fans. Though Douglas expanded his entertaining to include game streams and recordings on YouTube and Twitch, his passion remains centered on his writing. Douglas lives with his wife and two boys in Minnesota. He works in healthcare, serving people's needs at both hospitals and clinics depending on his rotation. When most people see him, he is wearing scrubs.
