Description

Brooding mercenary Loth lives by his sword and seeks only fortune, caring little for honor or duty. But when a mysterious royal offers him a king's ransom to infiltrate the dreaded Black Tower and assassinate the sinister sorcerer-king, Thalus Kahn, Loth assembles a band of skilled warriors for the impossible quest.

Joined by the fierce shield-maiden Anya and the stealthy archer Shimoda, Loth begins an epic journey to aid exiled princess Valeria in reclaiming her stolen kingdom from Kahn's dark control. Beset by enemies and black magic around every turn, the fellowship bonds and battles through adversity, Loth finding his noble side on the road to the sorcerer's dark stronghold.

After overcoming all odds and laying siege to the nightmarish Tower, Loth finally comes face-to-face against the despotic Thalus Kahn. In an explosive showdown between good and evil, sword and sorcery, Loth risks all for victory and the liberation of Valeria's once prosperous land.

Triumphant yet weary, Loth believes his role is fulfilled as Valeria takes her crown. But when the princess betrays her champion, declaring him an enemy of the realm, Loth is forced to flee as a fugitive. As darkness returns to the newly crowned queen's rule, a wronged Loth must decide if vengeance will be his or if he can forge his heroic destiny against all betrayals.

Evil always finds a foothold where integrity crumbles. Can one disgraced hero shine light into such an abyss? Forge your courage in The Throne of Shadows, a tale of redemptive bravery unlike any you've ever read. You'll enjoy this story if you like Robert E Howard's Conan the Barbarian.
