Esthopia Sagas: Invasion of the Ortaks: Book 1 the Knight

A great beginning of an epic fantasy sagas that takes place in the world of men and elves.

While lodged at an inn for the night, Princess Egny's life is saved in the nick of time, when dark-clad invaders make an attempt on her life.

News of the attack reaches the king, who sends Sir Klaus eastward across the outlaw-riddled Bending Pass and into the country of Antonia to learn more about the assassination plot.

The novel, filled with well-wrought adventure, hosts a large cast, from the warm Asgrim to the foolhardy Gils, their back stories as attention-grabbing as the main narrative.

We learn, for instance, the unsettling history of Christopher, a trader who freed two condemned slaves and joined forces with Klaus against the incoming Ortaks.

Esthopians who, faced with the prospect of war with a brutal tribe and betrayal among their ranks, band together, building interest for the series' next instalment.
