A Sturm Is Brewing

Marshal Sturm, the Hero of Steil Pass and the Liberator of Hekt, thought that life would get easier when he left the battlefields in the east to take up his earldom in southern Kriegsturm, but he is about to discover that it is a lot harder to survive without an army around him. From the capital in Aachen, to his family home in Eisenland, to his new earldom in Cidade Fortaleza, men smile to his face while planning treachery behind his back. Contains the books Sturm Rising, Sturm Line, and Sturm Clouds. Sturm Rising: Marshal "Sturm Front" Sturm comes to Aachen to consult with the high king of Kriegsturm before taking up his responsibilities as earl of Fortaleza. After a year at war, Sturm hopes for a well-deserved rest before journeying south, but the royal capital is filled with new dangers for the young earl. Some maneuver to steal his title and wealth, others hate the Hero of Steil Pass for his astounding victories on the battlefield, and some fear the headstrong young Liberator of Hekt will ignite a civil war in the contentious south when he claims his contested lands. Sturm is about to learn that his allies can be as dangerous as his enemies. Everyone else is about to discover that the battlefield is not the only place that a Sturm is rising. Sturm Line: Marshal Sturm has been given the seemingly impossible task of claiming the earldom of Fortaleza from the hands of a pretender who has had control of the territory for nearly a year. To have any hope of success, he needs an army trained in the musket doctrine he used to hold Steil Pass and conquer the city of Hekt. But where does a peer of the realm recruit an army when his fief is already in enemy hands? If you're Marshal Sturm, you return to Eisenland, the territory you grew up in. But not everyone in his homeland is happy to see a local boy elevated to the top of the peerage. And old enemies and new view the isolated countryside of Sturm's youth as the perfect place to trap and murder him. Sturm Clouds: Marshal "Sturm Front" Sturm has finally reached Al-Andalus to claim the earldom of Fortaleza from the usurper who has had control of it for most of a year. Unfortunately, the usurper is not proving to be Sturm's biggest problem. The high king's officials in Al-Andalus are so concerned with the possibility of civil war breaking out between the two claimants that they are trying to stop Sturm from doing anything that might actually permit him to take control of his lands. As if that wasn't bad enough, the southern empire of Ahl-Alnaar is also showing interest in the situation, as the usurper shares their faith and might help to bring the whole province of Al-Andalus back under southern control. With every hand against him, Sturm will need to draw on everything he learned in Steil Pass and Hekt if he is to secure Fortaleza and preserve the high kingdom. As the storm clouds gather, all of Kriegsturm is bracing for the deluge.
