From Jesse Calnan, author of Way of the Ghosts: A Collection of 20 Short Stories, comes Marscar: The Scarllend War, the beginning of a sweeping fantasy epic series that transports readers to an ancient world of prophecy, conflict, and magic.In the ancient continent of Marscar, where kingdoms rise and fall beneath the weight of destiny, the land of Scarllend stands on the edge of collapse. War, once thought to be buried in history, stirs once more in the shadows. As dark forces spread through enchanted forests, towering mountains, and crumbling strongholds, Commander Ryker-a young but steadfast knight-must unite divided realms and rekindle long-forgotten alliances between humans, elves, gnomes, and pixies.What begins as a desperate mission to defend his kingdom soon becomes a test of loyalty, sacrifice, and leadership. Every choice carries the weight of history, and every victory leaves a scar. As alliances are forged and ancient powers awaken, Ryker must decide whether Marscar's future will rise from the ashes of ruin or vanish in the fires of war.Richly imagined and emotionally charged, Marscar: The Scarllend War is a tale of courage, unity, and the timeless struggle between light and darkness-a new cornerstone in Calnan's expanding fantasy universe.
