The Chronicles of Innisfail - Innisfail, #1 - E-book - ePub

Corporal Wilem Doran thought he was fighting Rommel in Tunisia. He is caught in an artillery bombardment, knocked senseless, and when he awakens, he is ... somewhere else! Found in the heart of a place called Starfall, in the desert of Old Mindemoya, Wilem is befriended by an itinerant trader, Kaspar Jakhad, as his caravan flees before the barbarian Khazar raiders. Yet Kaspar knows this is far more than a raiding party.  It has been said that everything that is powerful will one day come under siege.
In the year 788, as the Emperor in Innisfail makes a power grab for taxes in his outland provinces, the Outlords, led by the Duke Morgin Grenfell, convene a secret and illegal meeting to form a coalition-the White Company. But the squabble between the Empire and its outlands is soon overshadowed by a much graver threat when the Khazars begin a second great migration and invasion that overruns all the desolate south and soon sweeps all the way to the frontiers of Innisfail the Only.    For the first time in over two centuries, barbarians, march against the empire.
They are soon joined by a horrid hosts led by the legendary Black Prince Sonderin and his Brother Luth, with a menagerie of vile creatures unseen by men for long ages. To survive, the Outlords must end their simmering feud with the Emperor and ride east into battle. Yet with his Lee & Enfield SMLE-III rifle and a Bren light machine gun, it is not long before Wilem Doran's amazing new weapons get a chance to make some difference in this war.   Now, from the author of the long running Kirov Series, comes the opening volume of an epic Fantasy series as broad and detailed as J.
R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, as a great war begins. This is mythic military fiction at its best. The Chronicles of InnisfailVolume I, The KinstrifeByJohn SchettlerPart I - WilemPart II - LyndraPart III - The FalconbridgePart IV - The White CompanyPart V - DellingPart VI - Towers of Stone, Men of SandPart VII - Tides of WarPart VIII -KhazarsPart IX - Imperial DesignsPart X- Song of SonderinPart XI - The Vile HostPart XII - The RaedwallEpilogue - Treachery
