King Behan sits upon a tyrant’s throne. His endless wars and oppressive regime have cast Greater Virren into an age of darkness… and then he kills a saint. Worshipped as a god, Bartolomeu Kezia stood for everything the king does not, and the people loved him for it. With his death still fresh in their minds, the citizenry take up arms against their king in a frantic effort to safeguard their future, and the future of the continent.
Revolution has come to Greater Virren
Yaro Anatoly is the captain of the Black Hussars, the most fearsome regiment in all of Greater Virren. Devoted servant of the throne, and veteran of a dozen campaigns, his sword has been bloodied against the savages of Vorgar, the slave masters of Hath, and the desert princes of the south. But now he and his mighty Akashian, Sumera, must fend off a threat far closer to home. At the behest of King Behan, he leads his infamous regiment against all traitors to the crown, and co-conspirators of the Rebellion.
A pit of vipers
In a final bid to end the revolution before it reaches the capital, Yaro leads the Hussars against the renegade forces. He rides with the king’s warrant, and Behan’s most trusted advisor, Lord Thelas Veron. As the conflict grows, forces and faiths will clash in a bloody battle whose outcome will change the fate of Greater Virren forever.
Set in the world of the Plagueborne Trilogy, The Black Hussars is a standalone novella suited to readers both familiar and unfamiliar with the world of Greater Virren.
