Sacrifice on the Dragongrass

by Tripp Berry

What would you do if you fought for the enemy?

In Blackstone Castle, Kenan and Anna left Johlick for dead. And he was. But he woke up. The Midreerians questioned him, imprisoned him, and made him fight in Crimson River Yard. With tall and blond genes, they even sent him to Neera, a bloodmother encamped nearby. In time, he was promoted to centurion, learned to hope, and shared that hope with his men.

But now, Prince Gharan and his Midreerian army are on the move. Rowing up the Morderain River in hundreds of longboats, the army of over ten thousand is on its way to Edeer. Their mission? Destroy the small village of Blacktree. Seems like overkill. Or is it?

How will Johlick warn Blacktree and at the same time protect his hundred soldiers? Will a bloodmother leave the enclave? How will he save his infant daughter?

Step back into history, before the Tower of Babel, before the Flood, to a time of lush greenery, giant animals, and roving danger. Just watch yourself around those giants. You might find yourself scraped off the bottom of a big boot. Read Sacrifice on the Dragongrass today!
