    Darryl L. Swank

    As a young man I began work in warehousing then later in vendoring until injuries from a motorcycle accident in 1988 forced a career change. Having enjoyed the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien, and inspired to write a story of my own with similar depth in the fantasy genre, I completed a rough draft on this writing then. However, attaining a successful career in the technical field delayed its completion. 24 years later my technical career ended due to outsourcing. After reconsidering my career direction again, I decided to pick up my rough drafts on this story and completed this book. My original inspirations went beyond these pages, and my plans are to complete them with a follow-up trilogy which will continue this story to an epic end.

      CHAPTER 1

      Introduction

      The mighty warlord fought with unequaled cunning and skill as the two combatants fought on within the blackness of strongholds mightiest chamber. Slashing upward and thrusting in with some strikes penetrating through the creature’s defenses, yet Gramoroth showed no pain. Defending each thrust with such skill that Kraken perceived this struggle a mere jest to his enemy. Weariness began to take him, but remembering what the dwarf King Ragad proclaimed during the Council of Kings, renewed his strength. The Evil One has but one weakness to the mortals of this world. A swift strike through the center of his being with a weapon that has been tempered by the flames found only within his forges, to kill or injure, Ragad could not say. Adding only, this knowledge carried a heavy price of many lives; do not squander this opportunity their payment has given us.

      Only boldness in the face of death might restore such a long lost hope for those remaining, and only hope was enough to chance death against such odds. Darkness is all that remains for those born into this world and now, he must pay for his endless crimes of dark days gone by! Kraken’s heart quaked.

      Perfect was the world before the Great War, splendid and marvelous, full of wonder and light, without fear or suffering. Now all has vanished into the past, with darkness and cruelty in its stead. When he came
