by Douglas Van Dyke Jr.

295 pages; quality trade paperback (softcover); catalogue #08-0427; ISBN 1-4251-7510-4; US$24.00, C$24.00, EUR16.39, £12.39

An army becomes fanatically devoted to a demon wielding a powerful relic from an old war. Adventurers, swordsmen and mages assemble to thwart the invasion of their world.

About the Book

The conclusion to the debut fantasy adventure trilogy set in the magical world of Dhea Loral.

Savannah had nothing but malice in her expression as she hovered above Petrow. "The Covenant didn't stop the Godswars; it just changed the rules."

Now Revwar and Savannah have the relics in their possession, and a secret army assembled from a multitude of misled believers. Together, it seems unlikely that they will be stopped. Trestan and Cat have discovered the nature of these terrible weapons, but they have to find their way out of the endless forests of Eyldiian.

Rallying against the impossible numbers and the weapons from the old war, the original Companions of the Relics reunite to defend their realm. All will suffer and some will die as they race to defend a fortress on the frontiers of civilization. Unbeknownst to its defenders, an army larger than anything that has been gathered in over a millennium marches toward it with fanatic zeal.

Failure could have higher stakes than the razing of that portion of Dhea Loral. The gods may elect to discard the peace-binding Covenant…forcing the realm into a second catastrophic Godswars.

The first two books in the series, Inheritance of A Sword and A Path (book 1) and Trials of Faith (book 2), are available from Trafford.

About the Author

Douglas was born on Nov 28th, 1971. He got the chance to live in many different places while growing up, courtesy of the assignments the US Army offered to his father. Too quiet and too shy for too long, there were always dreams of other worlds and places…and the desire to write about them. He got into fantasy role-playing games in his mid-teens. To this day he has friends whom he meets in tabletop role-playing games, as well as online adventures. Many of his characters evolved in games, and each developed their own personality. Having to rely on self-publishing for his first novel, Douglas was surprised at the amount of good reviews and publicity it has received. Muster of Heroes concludes the story set into motion in Inheritance of a Sword and a Path.

Douglas lives with his wife and one dog in Minnesota. He works in health care, serving people's needs in Radiology. When most people see him, he is wearing scrubs and a white lab coat.
