The Sleeping Tyrant

The second collection of Sword Sorcery tales from the New Iron Age. The Sleeping Tyrant tells a story that stretches across a thousand years and travels from one end of a world to the other. Across mountains and deserts, through wars and betrayals and battles and death, a whole world's history turns upon the life and death of a single man. As a youth, Druan lives in the far northland as a simple hunter, but a war comes upon his people from the cold dark, and he rises to be first a chieftain, and then an emperor. After his death his legacy becomes a focal point for war, sorcery, and blood oaths as many seek to unravel the source of his power and use it for their own ends. In the tradition of Clark Ashton Smith and Robert E. Howard comes a book made up of 26 interconnected tales that weave together into a single epic.
