The Warfarer`s Exodus 2009.01.11

The `Chronicles of War` is a series of seven complete and self-contained novels that narrate the fabled career of Epsilon Three, Holy Warfarer of the Martial Rite. Orphaned as an infant into a pagan cult of war, Epsilon Three (named for the month and the day he became a foundling) learns the strategies and tactics of war as a prodigy learns physics. Triumphant at the Festival of Alcorde, Epsilon`s ultimate reward is banishment beyond the Great Barricade of Empire into a mysterious realm of magic and monsters. The first volume of the series, The Warfarer`s Exodus begins with Epsilon`s first contact with the magical lands beyond Empire`s Great Barricade. Expecting to die an immediate, if heroic, death, Epsilon and Helmcleaver, his murderous war stallion, ultimately survive the Wilderland`s first trials and tribulations. As warfaring pilgrims lost on an errand of conquest, the two wander the forests in search of a destination. Once they meet Pandolyn, a powerful wizard of the Synod of Seven, their fates take a strange twist.
