The Wolves of Trisidian

Book excerpt: Gripped by the tyranny of an evil warlord and his army of supernatural, bloodthirsty wolves, the citizens of Jandor only understand poverty, devastation, and hopelessness. From their humble ranks comes a young man whose devotion to his people overcomes any base desires of self-preference or self-aggrandizement. Shackled by adversity and the victim of ruthless, unfettered power, young Geoffrey Talbot rejects the natural instinct to remain in never-ending sorrow. Treasuring the gift of life, he chooses to rise from his torturous condition by pursuing noble and heroic efforts to save his fellow countrymen from the ravages of evil. Will extraordinary tragedy and grievous pain transform this humble waif into a national hero destined to usher in an elusive peace long sought after by the people he sacrificed all to save... or will death claim them all?
