The Long Run to Redemption (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781733835565)

King Orus of Hodan is an aging Champion. His warrior Kingdom is well known throughout the Ert for its prowess in battle and thirst for glory. The old King knows full well that those who cannot defend their throne when the challenge comes end up dead, and their defeat takes their families with them.

Orus knows his people. Their memory for the glory of the past is short and their patience shorter. Political strife within his own borders combined with problems with alliances push the old warrior to decide; stay and die a disgrace in the eyes of his people or leave for places unknown in search of a glorious legacy. As the grumbling of his people continues to increase and with no wars left to fight, he is left with little choice.
