Shards: A Story of The Realm by Ben Galley (The Heart of Stone prequel)
Requirements: .ePUB reader, kB
Overview: They say the Malar Dorah is unbreakable.
For five centuries, the Realm’s mightiest fortress has stood unconquered. Now it is the final bastion of a retreating northern army, and the culmination of the long-raging Diamond Wars. The warlord Belerod stands at the Dorah’s doorstep with a southern horde at his back, set on testing the meaning of unbreakable with his war-golems.
Fourteen of Belerod’s creations waded into the Diamond Wars. Only eight remain. Their second-youngest, Task, has seen every bloody battle; every crippling defeat and valiant push. The attack on Malar Dorah is supposed to be the dawn of peace. But now, at the end, the soldiers whisper of a wizard hiding behind the Dorah’s vast walls.
For the first and last time in the Diamond Wars, magic will fight magic.
Shards is a short story set several centuries before the events of Ben Galley’s award-winning standalone novel The Heart of Stone. Shards is a prequel tale of Task’s beginnings in the Diamond Wars, and a fierce and action-packed look at a time when war-golems were not so rare.
