The first novel in an epic new fantasy series. Excerpt from Book Chapter One Of Gods and Men In the days of darkness before the war, men were called Rhunes. We lived in Rhuneland or Rhulyn as it was once known. We had little to eat and much to fear. What we feared most were the gods across the Bern River where we were not allowed. Most people believe our conflict with the the Fhrey started at the Battle of Grandford, but it actually began on a day in early spring when two men crossed the river. -- Details ISBN1101965355 Author Michael J.
