Leopard Errant
The sand lines and city states of Mundi were carved out in blood long ago, paid for in the lives of kings, dukes, noble knights and peasants. But on the eastern frontier reputations and fortunes have yet to be earned...
As their impassable forests lay ripe for plunder, there remains the key. The way in. The enduring Fortress of Ancarad, a field’s worth of limestone wall, tower, turret and war engine. And now it has fallen for the first time. And not through the normal means of war.
A strange mystic, returned from the dead cities of the west granted with the arcane and a war machine of unstoppable fury.
Turned freelancer, the enigmatic Leopard Knight leaves the Triple Kingdoms of his birth to quest and find his own fortune. With little more than the bronzed chainmail on his back, a decent warhorse the young nobleman is ready to play the deck fate stacks against him.
...And soon finds himself hired into a small army of desperate knights and other freelancers. Their reluctant leader a young Duke, driven by debt and blood feud and faced with no choice but to lay siege to Ancarad a second time. Their hope, to bring down the stronghold’s new conqueror, a brutal warlord not above the dishonour of sorcery and whose battleaxe has smashed everything in its path.
