"Know thy self, know thy enemy"
- Sun Tzu
Marcus Graham has been handed a raw deal. As a student of military history, he wants nothing more than to help the world learn from human conflict. But his increasingly hostile college is blocking his lectures and threatening to shut down his entire course. Studying war, they say, has no place in a world of peace.
But there's another world out there. A world wracked by constant strife. A world of fantasy races locked in combat, and where the tides of war are always in full swing. It is a world on the brink of almost total annihilation, where the common people have almost given up hope.
But Marcus, with his extensive knowledge of battlefield strategy, might just be the man to save them all.
