The story begins with the Civil War erupting in Ulusia. Sagitarius leads a ragtag team of Survivors across Ulusia. Their initial quest is just to survive and then it evolves into warning the rest of the country of the grim fate that will sweep through their homeland.
The Ulusian Men have recruited their brothers from Latenia to help, ensuring a swift result in the genocide of the Centaur race.
Out-manned, out-gunned and prisoners in their own country, the Centaur try to make the best of their situation.
There are many dark forces at work here : Nagstad the Evil King bent on Conquest; The Corrupt Savant the ulusian Prime Minister hording power; Gerg the crazed Mage; Halas the Guild that has created a contraband to allow the Centaur roam among Men in disguise, being undetected; and finally Brood also known as the Golden Skeleton with the power of Lich.
Can Sagitarius rally their forces and take back their homeland....

It has so many elements that we love from other great series: the brutality, huge battles, evil characters we love to hate, strong female characters and politics of Game of Thrones … exciting subadventures and likable personalities from The Legend of Drizzt and Dragonlance Chronicles … and unpredictability from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. But it has more … It includes a plethora of new species such as snake men, reptilians, insect monsters, bat men, a giant centipede, a cross between a man and Pegasus and a host of other creative characters. The book also explores romantic connections and interbreeding (with all their complexities) between various species such as elves, centaurs, and humans.

It is also very philosophical at times, challenging our thinking
