Invasion of the Ortaks: Book 2 the Defeat - Paperback

by Sveinn Benónýsson (Author)

As the Esthopians fret over the spread of the brutal Ortaks, they also face another, more ghoulish threat: creatures from the underworld, first encountered by Queen Jofrid's lieutenant and his men. The frightened armies, noblemen, and kings of Eniktronia, Montania, and Serpenia face off against the Ortaks and King Armus in a spectacular battle at Broad Valley. But their heroism is offset by their lack of experience, and the Ortaks' strategic attacks lay waste to them. A ragtag band of soldiers who escaped death at Broad Valley, led by an archer named Axel, find protection together, while Queen Maria of Montania and her daughters flee to Storm Castle. Meanwhile, Tania another part-Elven hero saves Queen Egny of Otanga. And Sir William at Crown Castle makes a stand against the Ortaks, with his few brave men.
